Georgina Aasgaard told the ECHO: "I think there are lots of similarities between the disciplines, the self-discipline, and the hard work that we do, both as musicians and as athletes or as sports people.""I think with his upbringing he got some of this from both of us, as we're both performing cellists. We repeat things, and in a way it's not so dissimilar to what Thelo's been doing as well."Practicing his skills in and out hundred times, thousand times, a million times until you think they're good enough.

Start again from scratch every day and just work really hard."I think that's what we both do as musicians and as footballers as well, this extreme discipline of always repeating, repeating, repeating until you get to what you want."But, their strict training regimes aren't the only thing that they have in common. You've got to have the same idea and same plan and passion.""I think when you see Thelo is really enjoying himself, in his absolute element, it becomes more than just the kicking of a ball.

He creates these kind of magical moments and then come up with the most incredible technical skills as well, which end up in some of the incredible goals we have all witnessed throughout his career."One of those "incredible goals" came just weeks ago when his dad's Norway took on his mum's national team, France. Georgina said: "I don't think I have any words to describe what it felt like when the goal went in, especially as I was in the middle of both our families from France and Norway.
