Arson, so you're an author now. How did you find the experience of writing? It's like to be an author, it's a new job for you at this point in your life.

Well, the writing I liked quite. What I didn't like is to look back at my life, you know, and overall that was quite painful because I was

spent my whole life in looking forward for the next game and suddenly you have to look back,

but I arrived at the stage of my life and I thought if I don't do it now, I had time.

If I don't do it now, I will never do it. Then I thought, okay, let's do it. It was painful.

When you write books and you get to the point where it's nearly finished and you almost have to press send or hand over your manuscript, and there's a point where you can't do any more with it.

Did you reach that point where you thought, I'm happy with it? This is my life? I was never happy with what I wrote. And I think

I was not too much concerned by the way I wrote it, but more by sharing what I think was

important.

The first, I wanted to reach two targets.

The first was to explain to people, no matter what your child is, life can be bigger than your dream, you know.

And the second thing is to share a little bit what I've learned from human beings by working with them at the top level in sport and outside sport. Did you wrestle a bit with what to put in and

what to leave out? Yes, of course. I could have created many controversial stories that would have interested people, but I didn't want to go into that at all because I wanted just to make a book that was optimistic and that reflects who I was in my life because I never could.

I think the optimism took all resolve.

And the job of a manager is basically a guy who believes in human being, you know,

because you put your destiny in the hands of some other people

and you say, you can do that for me.

And there's nothing to do with intelligence

just if you experience that in a negative way if you're a control freak don't do this job you

know because when you don't completely decide what's going on on of your, you will be very negative with people.

When you've got your life or your job in the hands of other people like that,

it must be quite difficult because obviously you have ideas of how things are going to work
