Just finished reading the 'Inner Game of Wealth' - an interesting book on the way brains are programmed to win or fail.The book is cheesy at times but shared some of the characteristics of other books on mental programming from Brian Tracy for instance. One the best books I've read on the subject is 'Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot' (by Richard Restak). So, at this point, you are wondering why the picture of a football player on this post. Well - this player is not any player.
He is Franck Ribery, plays on the French national team, scored a couple during the world cup but most importantly just got nominated 'player of the month' in Germany, 2 months after joining Bayern Munich, one of the most prestigious clubs in Europe.
He was transferred for about 17 million euros and he is only 24. What's more interesting though is the fact that this player played 'national' (low pro-level) in France just a few years ago. I doubt he read the books below, but one thing is for sure: he is a very talented individual and should be, in my opinion, taken as an example of brilliant brain programming.
Go Ribery! If you interested in watching some of his magic tricks, start with the below:
