🚀 The only career advice you need:
The actor Glen Powell auditioned to play Rooster in Top Gun: Maverick.
When the role was given to Miles Teller, Powell was devastated. He was offered a smaller role, but declined.
Tom Cruise summoned Powell to his house and asked him:
“What kind of career do you want?”
Powell responded:
“I want to be like you—an iconic movie star. You always choose great roles.”
Cruise shook his head.
“You’re wrong. I choose great movies, then I make the role great.”
Powell got the message. He accepted the role of Hangman—and nailed it.
Now Powell says:
“It changed the trajectory of my career.”
When young people ask me for career advice, I tell them something similar:
🚀 Attach yourself to a rocketship.
Join companies that are growing quickly. Work with people who are going places. Be part of something great.
Play your role—no matter how minor—exceptionally well.
The rest will take care of itself.
P.S. I don't write engagement bait, so I need your help to spread the word. If you enjoyed this post, would you like, comment, and repost?
Pep was late coming out to the pitch ended up jogging on. The reception for his last game, man. The noise. The gift from Unai Emery and @AVFCOfficial . Wow. Just legendary.
Clamoroso video sul discorso tattico dato da Ancelotti nell’intervallo di Real Madrid-Borussia Dortmund finale Champions 2024.
Vale più questo che mille editoriali tromboni.
Sembra elementare ma non lo è: lo scambio di idee, la fiducia, la lettura basica
20 years in football teaches you a lot about the unwritten rules of the game...
And one of them is how you treat the people who came before you 👀
I came across this footage of players and staff leaving through the tunnel after Arsenal's win over Chelsea. Standing there were Freddie Ljungberg and Emmanuel Petit - two Arsenal legends who won the lot and helped shape one of the club's greatest eras 👏
And almost nobody acknowledges them. Not after a win, not on their own patch, nothing.
But Declan Rice was the one exception, and honestly, it was great to see. The way he took a moment to acknowledge two men who helped build that club says a lot about his character!!!
Football has a short memory, and I get that.
But the culture lives in the small moments just as much as the big ones.
It costs absolutely nothing - a nod, a handshake, two seconds of your time.
Dec gets it, and hopefully others take note 🙌

Similar story across the world where executives & keyboard tappers have become delusional on what it is and what it takes to lead, how to grow a Club, how to build a team, etc. I could go on and on but ultimately football has lost its soul.
When F Luis was criticized for calmness on the line, he replied:
If shouting won games, Ancelotti wouldn't be the most titled UCL coach. If the day comes he wants me to put on a show for fans, I'm not the right guy here
Now he’s Copa Liberatedores Champ

🗣️ Miroslav Klose: "I said stop playing football because I no longer recognized it. Today, young people think about other things. As a child, I only thought about training and becoming someone in this sport that I always loved. At Lazio and in the national team, after each training session, I put myself in a bathtub full of ice to avoid injuries. But the young people on the team systematically refused.
When they saw me picking up the bags of balls to put them away at the end of training, they said to me 'But who tells you to do that?'. At that moment, I said to myself: "You're 20 years old and you can't help a 60-year-old worker? They care more about whether their cleats go with their socks. That's why I said stop. The football I knew no longer exists.
Today's young people think first of cars, contracts with their sponsors, and their new crampons. It is only after all these things that football comes. For them, their image is the most important thing. Whereas for me, all that mattered was football in its purest form"
