“Dream Job Soccer Professional” is about crises of a completely different kind. At a time when being a professional soccer player has become a dream and aspiration for many, this reality check by author Jörg Runde comes at just the right time.

The rocky road to the pro

This is shown by Jörg Runde and Thomas Tamberg in their class book “Traumberuf Fußballprofi”. The subtitle already shows that it is not about dreaming and means: "The hard way from the football field to the Bundesliga". Could also be a heading for any other dream job.

Runde and Tamberg provide a first-rate research report on career roads and wrong turns in professional football. But the authors have traveled from Babelsberg to Cologne, from Hamburg to Unterhaching, to portray the secret of success of the top professionals.

The guys from the second row

And also to offer the boys a presentation area that, despite the best facilities and remarkable initial successes have not packed.

Which are only worth a side note in the “Kicker” archives because they no longer arrive in the big stadiums on Saturdays. But sitting at home and about every tangible help job theirs dept have to dismantle.

Needed: The right little piece of luck

Thomas Müller, Uli Borowka, Robin Dutt, Mario Götze, Mats Hummels, Jürgen Klopp, Tim Wiese - they all have their say and describe their personal experiences with the “professional” football professional, who could hardly be more contradictory.

Lewis Holtby, who also contributed the foreword, ensures a positive start. His flagship career from Gladbach youth boarding to professional appearances at Schalke 04 and Mainz 05 to the nomination for the German national team ("... this feeling is the best you can have as a footballer") and his move to the English Premier League is that Blueprint of many children's dreams.

From Jahrhunderttalent to the debt mountain

Consistent was Holtby, purposeful and professional in life anyway. And yet a good deal of luck was the key to success. Holtby had and has the right environment, caring parents, and a responsible manager. And that is not a matter of course.

Ask You times Savio Nsereko. Guaranteed you've never heard the name. Because the boy (“a talent of the century”) on “dubious Adviser and false friends” heard when things went steeply upwards.

The relentless descent

Then came debt, drug and alcohol problems instead of chants from the curve and Bravo cover picture. Nsereko is not yet 30, but his "totally screwed up" career is over, "it didn't even start properly and, with a little luck, could have led him into the Champions League. A human tragedy ”.

The practical book "Self-Coaching" by Stefanie Demann does not replace "real" therapy sessions, but it does help you with many practical exercises and tests ("tools"), even new ones ways and find prospects.

Crisis management in 86 small steps

Give him positive, constructive impulses, avoid negative formulations”. But don't forget to take the necessary “breaks” on longer journeys, and give yourself a pat on the back every now and then: “Rewards mark your path to Objective und machen Fun. You are a sign of Esteem to yourself."

The search for the perfect solution is in vain

In other cases - such as the question of the best possible job - it is enough to realize that the search for the one, the perfect one Solution is completely in vain. Instead, “put on a maximum Alternatives firmly, then you will recognize the right decisions for you.”

Conclusion: “Self-Coaching” is the right book if you are currently suffering from a blockage or are stuck in a crisis situation. The modularly structured guide dispenses with panaceas and prefers to use suitable exercises to help you derive the right solution yourself.”

From Survival Camp to Everest

MotivationPerseverance and the ability to overcome fears - these are skills that are essential if you want to overcome new challenges in your job and successfully master fears. What could be more obvious than to learn from a survivor who repeatedly pushes the limits of his psychological and physical resilience?

Extreme athlete, elite soldier, adventure: Bear Grylls is a thoroughly adrenaline junkie who repeatedly tests his physical and psychological resilience in the struggle with the forces of nature. His autobiography “Mud, Sweat and Tears” reads as exciting as an adventure novel alla Indiana Jones.

And it is precisely from this adventure that you can learn: because as a reader, Grylls is greeted by the hard survival training of the British elite soldiers (Special Air Service), climbs the Everest with him and defends against wild animals.

Of saltwater crocodiles and tergias

Thanks to his detailed, almost minute narrative, you get a breathtakingly authentic impression of the dangers to which Grylls is exposed. These include stories like this:

“The saltwater crocodile in Australia. Or the almost five meter long tiger shark that I got to know in the Pacific, or even the snake bite that I contracted in Borneo. There have been countless situations in which I just jumped off death again. ”

Always looking for the next kick

No question, Grylls is obsessed, always looking for the next kick. And finds him mostly on the peaks of the earth. When it comes to extreme mountaineering and climbing, he trusts in two guardian angels: intuition and Optimism. They keep it Anxiety and ill-considered actions in seemingly hopeless situations.

And the survivor reports on almost 500 pages: “It didn't take long for it to get bitterly cold. We were totally exhausted, and while we were trudging through this swampy moorland in the high valley at dusk, it took us quite a while to realize that – due to complete exhaustion – we were the Orientation had lost”

After all, a thirst for adventure is in human nature – and every real adventure involves risks” – this sentence is Bear Grylls' life maxim.

Overcome challenges, overcome fears

His autobiography is a fast-paced adventure story: authentic and exciting. But the book also works as a motivational trainer: Grylls explains how to successfully face seemingly oversized challenges and overcome fears. A Background, which is not only an advantage in the Himalayas, but also at work.

The transition to “Workshop in Miracles” (the subtitle of another book) could hardly be more blatant. This title might make you think we've gone nuts. We've only read one book by best-selling author Melody Beattie - and think it's really worth reading. Positive thinking is very fashionable. And everywhere we are suggested that we can use the power of positive thinking

An author who was spared nothing

A book about making miracles. Not exactly my case. But because it was written by the author of the world bestseller “The addiction to be used”, I was curious. After all, Melody Beattie is an author who was very successful - but who was never spared.

Alcohol-dependent, drug-dependent, married to a man who took care of alcoholics and himself, as a stripper, lost the twelve-year-old son by a ski accident, had gone bust a few times and now plagued by a broken back and broken knees.

Accept fate rather than find paradise

So her book would hardly be about beaming yourself to paradise with a few homemade miracles - otherwise she would have totally failed in this job. "Love what you have, you will get what you want" is rather a guide to accepting destiny.

And not in the form of enduring, but in recognizing that the way out is to “acknowledge”.

Miracles means learning from crises

For Melody Beattie, “miracles” means coping with self-loathing, getting out of the crisis or addiction caused by whoever. She is not a professional psychologist, not a therapist. Your teacher is called life.

And that didn't save her anything - but helped her to recognize a few things. Accepting and experiencing negative things is essential for them emotions. “Once we let go of old, stuck emotions, we come into balance. When we find our balance, we connect with ourselves,” writes Melody Beattie.

Gratefully accept problems instead of talking away

Her method is called: writing gratitude lists. Nothing new, you think, because writing gratitude lists is an often recommended method by coaches and trainers. Beattie takes a different path. She advises: "Express gratitude for negative events".

Because that “takes the sting out of these events”. The background is clear. "A Problem", Melody Beattie continues, "usually gets bigger and harder and more complex to solve when I'm happily pretending it doesn't exist."

10 minutes daily negative thinking

"Love what you have, then you get what you want" is structured as a workshop. Ten minutes a day is enough, the author promises. And in these ten minutes it's all about writing the “negative” thank you lists.

There is also a list that contains all the desirable goals and one that brings together all the people "whom you resent, who you have not forgiven". Beattie promises that this daily admission of the “negative” will clear the way for overcoming these emotions.

Everything repressed returns with power

The proximity to the 12steps-Program of “Alcoholics Anonymous”, which also includes the unreserved recognition addiction begins (“Yes, I am an alcoholic”) is clear. And a hint that Beattie's method can work, too.

An unusual method for overcoming crises that cut across the “Positive thinking” approaches. And at the same time it is based on the fundamental psychological insight that means: Everything that has been suppressed returns with power.
