So often or not you hear people branding all footballers with the same brush, the brush that they're not the smartest and that they were lucky to be physically talented. People recognise footballers for what they do with their feet, not for what they possess in their brains. They're deemed as unintelligent, however, Hector Bellerín represents a new breed of footballer.
The youngster revealed last year that he had enrolled in an online course at the University of Pennsylvania, an ivy league school in Philadelphia. Bellerin is pursuing a diploma in marketing, and watches lectures online and also completes exams on the school's website. The youngster admitted recently that he was finding the course incredibly demanding, but it was that aspect of the course that he most enjoyed.
He said that it has instilled a type of discipline in him, a discipline that he could use on the pitch.
As if a marketing diploma wasn't enough, the Spaniard is already considering enrolling in an accounting or business diploma after he finishes this one.
