Recently, Gatorade Philippines held a fans’ Q & A session which was held

on Gatorade Philippines Facebook wall.

 

Landon Donovan, aka CAPTAIN AMERICA, came on LIVE and took time

to answer questions posted on the wall.

 

Here are some snippets:

 

Fan: “It seems that Filippino fans love you, would you come back here

in the Philippines after the match?”

LANDON: “I would absolutely come back here one day. I want to go to

the Baracay beach.”

 

Fan: “Sir Landon Donovan!! Don’t get mad at my question. Do you

think that Azkals can beat LA Galaxy?

LANDON: “Yes I do. But I don’t think they will.”

 

Fan: “How do you keep calm during tense games? I’ve noticed you

rarely get mad. Especially what happened against the red Bulls?

Have you gotten any red cards?”

LANDON: “Only got one red card in my career, when I was 17

years old playing for the US Youth Team. It’s not always easy but

I think it’s really important to keep you composure.”

 

Fan: “Who influenced you to play soccer? How old did you start

playing soccer and decided to become a pro?”

LANDON: “I have an older half-brother that loved playing and

got me into the game at an early age. From the minute I could

walk, he was teaching me how to kick a soccer ball.”

 

Fan: “Hi Landon! Now that Filippinos are stating to embrace

Football as part of the culture, what is the best advice you can

give to aspiring football players of this generation?”

LANDON: “Very good question. The best advice I ever received

was from my mother. She always told me to “just have fun”. If

you enjoy the sport, you will always get better. You can learn

the tactical parts of the game later in life. If you’re young

and want to get better, play as much as possible.”

 

Fan: “How do you keep up in terms of conditioning with Galaxy

and National Team Duty?”

LANDON: “As you know, our season is long and grueling. There

are a few vital elements to keeping yourself strong throughout

the season. The way you hydrate and replenish your body after

training/games is crucial to your recovery.

 

I have learned to hydrate constantly, whether I’m at home,

at training or even traveling. I try to rest as much as I can

during downtime and keep my mind fresh by meditation

and sleeping as much as I can.”

 

 

Some questions posted gave insight on the likings and favorites

of Landon.

 

 

Fan: “Any team favorite in the NFL?”

LANDON: “Raiderssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss”

 

Fan: “Hey Landon, what’s your favorite aquatic mammal?”

LANDON: “Dolphins”

 

Fan: “Favorite subject in school?”

LANDON: “I always loved math.”

 

 

Landon has been a great sport and he tried his best to answer

questions posted on the wall. Well, BeckhamGalaxy was there

to catch up with Landon Donovan and we posted something

that is always at the back of our mind.

 

BeckhamGalaxy: “Is Beckham really leaving? What are

your thoughts about this?”

 

LANDON: “We hope he’s not leaving but ultimately it’s up to

him. If he does decide to leave, it’s been a fantastic 5 years

and we would wish him the best in the future!”

 

Well, Landon. We certainly agree with you.Beckham’s future

remains uncertain but BeckhamGalaxy is crossing the fingers

and hoping the best for LA Galaxy and the fans.
