Marcus Rashford took to social media to express his thoughts after his missed penalty during one of the biggest football events England has seen since 1966. Rob picks apart Rashfords passage to find the inspirational lessons which are valuable to all young players. He discusses how life is perplexing, why fighting reality is futile, and sister and brotherhoods’ importance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Life is perplexing. It challenges us, it is a growth thing and it is not always plain sailing. Marcus looks at the team he is surrounded by, the brotherhood, team, culture, and relationships. He describes them as unbreakable, and they do not happen overnight. In a team sport, if one person succeeds so does everybody else, but if one person fails so does the rest of the team. As a young player, be honest and don’t worry about being vulnerable. Take responsibility and do your best but you can never guarantee the outcome. Being honest is freeing and gives you peace of mind. Fighting reality is futile. Look beyond the result, have you got a sisterhood/brotherhood, a culture, a teammate bond? The consistency you have is found within your family, community and support networks. These people will continue to support you no matter what, and if you have nothing else, you have that. BEST MOMENTS “Your success is my success, but if I fail so do you.” “He talks about being criticised, well done.” “Just do your best.” “He knows his career is vulnerable.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Leader Manager Coach Podcast The Stoic Art of Living: Inner Resilience and Outer Results - Tom Morris ABOUT THE HOST Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.
