Like so many others I am following the Football / Soccer World Championship.  I have always enjoyed watching sports, event if I am not a competitive athlete myself.  As a leadership coach I draw inspiration and learning from sports coaching and the athletes themselves. Their life stories, what motivates them to work so hard, who helped them and how character plays a role. 

This episode draws its inspiration from two soccer team captains, a current and a retired one. Tyler Adams, the current US team captain, and Tim Sparv, the former captain of the Finnish national team who became famous not just as an excellent soccer player and captain, but as the captain who led a book club in his team and became a celebrated reading ambassador in Finland.   

Who inspires you?
