Footballer, Father, ManagerSon proves that learning from one's mistakes and setbacks can only make one stronger."My football is entirely of my father's making." - Son Heung-min "Be humble. All that is given to you is not yours." "Be thankful. The world belongs to those who are grateful." "Look ahead. Don't be greedy, but let go." This is the mantra of Son Woong-jung, father of Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min, famed for his coaching skills across the globe. A former professional footballer, Son analyzed his own failings and trained his son to "not be like me," placing endless importance on the basics. He believed in not just teaching him football skills, but in moulding him as a player and human being. As they say, the rest is history, and Son's know-how has become the talk of the town. In this book, Son quietly tells his life story for the first time.What kind of path did he follow? How was his philosophy born? From his impoverished childhood when he discovered a passion for football to growing up with the goal of playing the came professionally, his early retirement and the hardships that came after, teaching football to his sons and coming up with his own training program for them, following Heung-min's career in Germany and England, Son reveals that he decided to share his story with the slightest hope that it might help somebody, just as books have been the other mainstay of his life other than football. Certainly, one cannot come away from this book without being inspired by Son' approach to football, parenting, and life.Reference: Suobooks.
