Put a lot of into perspective…

Revisado: 10-29-23

My biggest take away from the book is course management. And looking at statistics on average shot percentages for example 120 yards hitting it within 20 feet is actually a good shot. Watching golf on TV can distort our mind about what a good shot really is.

Chris provides great insight as to what makes conversion possible

Revisado: 02-09-23

I love how Chris explains it all he is, and how conversion works. I took some other language uses and started applying to my lead follow up and started getting some engagement.

Learned About Running & Running Contracts

Revisado: 05-10-21

I learned how marathoners approach the sport and how they work together in a marathon until it's time to close. I visualized running with Meb the whole time I was listening to this book. It felt like I Was a fly on the wall on his days leading up to his marathons and a cameraman chasing him down as he ran. I also learned a bit about how his contract played out with Nike and how they get paid. really insightful.

Gave Me a New Perspective

Revisado: 06-22-20

I've recently read a book made on one of the best in the world in his Fields. Pep Guardiola, the world's best soccer coach who was brought up by the Catalan Side Barcelona FC.

As I dove into his story I took away several tips that I will work on implementing in my life. For example, Pep Commits to teams for a max time of about 3 years after his departure of Barcelona, He doesn't like to read articles or books written about him because he feels it might change his perspective on certain things about him, and he loves to learn outside the sport.

For starters, Pep is a great inspirational character and he knows that building a team is not just about putting great players, but instead building a great team is about getting world-class players to believe in one vision & philosophy ( Hence why many great individual players were not capable of performing under his direction). He also knows that you have to set a timeline for your actions... He believes that if he doesn't put a date to when he will depart from the club the players or even himself might feel complacent with his presence and they might not have the world-class urgency that is needed to be a great team. Since he sets very demanding time frames he doesn't like to listen to many outsider's opinions.

Considering that Pep is such a public figure in the Soccer world... one might ask, "How does he avoid conversation on the press that describes him" He simply doesn't like to hear it because he doesn't want some else's frame of thoughts to enter his current philosophy. He listens to those close to him and is always asking his coaching staff for advice... It might seem like he's a closed-minded individual but on the contrary, doing this helps him stay creative & that is why he looks outside of the game for inspiration.

Pep loves chess, rugby & art... But what does that have to do with playing soccer? According to the coach, he turns to chess players to help him develop a strategy for his team, he looks to rugby's best teams to help develop culture and unity, and he enjoys art and finds inspiration from it.

I Learned that he likes to meet with professionals outside of soccer in a dinner setting and is always asking many questions to better understand their thought process. Once he picks apart their thoughts & if he feels he can use it to play soccer in a better fashion he brings it to the field and shares it with his players.

My Biggest takeaway is to always be curious and be on the lookout for ways to find inspiration, to think outside the box for strategies, and for us to choose our identity for ourselves.

Green book makes you think

Revisado: 05-01-20

I’ve been wanting to read this book to buy some Tylenol and never really got to her because I seem to be such a complex book. Listening to the audiobook was really helpful & got my mind stimulated thinking of future trades with a checklist

Think twice before dismissing someone

Revisado: 12-31-19

This book was recommended to me by a colleague of mine. At first I didn’t think much of it, I figured it was just another philosophy book on how to hire people. Which it was, but this one had true valid points on why we should be careful before we dismiss someone for a specific role and to look deeper into that person‘s decision making rather than just on the surface resume stuff. Sometimes the best leaders aren’t always the loudest, and sometimes the best leaders don’t always come off as leaders per societal standards, And this book is great add showing us how to find those rare people.
