The Ideal Player As A Footballer takes a close look at the mental malaise -habitual lapses of concentration- that seems to afflicted Arsenal players over the years.
If you cannot remain focused on your goals, you will lose momentum and fail to make the progress you desire. This soon leads to a loss of confidence and motivation.

How to find inspiration to achieve your big goalsJens Baltrusch
Staying permanently motivated to chase the objectives you set in your life isn't simple for anybody. Yet some individuals seem to be better achievers than others. Is there any strategy behind their success?
Back in 1984 Dr. W. Edwards Deming (best known for the "Plan - Do - Check - Act" cycle) foresaw the current economic crisis and its causes. He considered the "5 Deadly Diseases of Management" to be the root of the problem. In his virtual interview with Dr. Deming (who passed away in 1993), Mischa Ramseyer will take a closer look at these diseases - which are still prevalent today - and present some agile management recipes on how to prevent and cure these in today's world.
The whole interview can be viewed on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehMAwIHGN0Y
Are you able to create something bigger than yourself? About the importance of having a company purpose, values and setting goals. Why psychological safety is the most impressionable success factor for creating a high performing team.
Always hire people where you can learn from, look ahead in your talent needs. Are people in the team also the right people for the next phase in your company? And do they have the startup skills to bring your company from Zero to One?
Brings us back to the question: Are you able to create something bigger than yourself? My 3 key take aways for startup founders:
1. Stay authentic
2. Communicate: Listen more and better
3. Empower everyone in the team to make important decisions.
Getting funded is a hard job. Meetings with investors, answer tons of questions and be razor sharp in negotiations. Especially if you realize that after the closing diner with your new investors you should be ready for lightning speed the next morning.
Johan van Mil, Peak Capital’s co-founder and managing partner, will present the learnings from our investments in companies such as Catawiki, IENS, StuDocu what your first 100 days plan should be so you are prepared for a rocket take off right after funding.
Marnix Broer, founder of StuDocu, will discuss his personal learnings from securing EURO 1,25 Mio from Peak Capital and Point Nine Capital 9 months ago.
Paul Musters, founder of Fortify is a former professional athlete and developed a startup team scan. He works with startup teams to develop themselves and attracting the right talent.
Target audience is founders of early stage companies that have their team in place (hacker, hustler en hipster founders), making revenue and have a product ready for scaling. Key take away is to be prepared for the questions investors ask when they are really really interested for investing in your company.
“We have found a generation of young people who are really hungry for knowledge but don’t want it in a boring way.” YouTube Executive Luke Hyams
Count as many beans as you can before the feelings of boredom, monotony, tedium and the persistent thought that this is a 'downright-waste-of-your-precious-and-invaluable-time-that-could-be-spent-indulging-in-an-activity-that's-way-more interesting-and something-that-you-actually-like-not-this-mind-numbing-counting-exercise-which-you-hate-with-all-your-heart' kick in and in rage you knock over the dish containing every bean imaginable: aduki, black turtle, borlottie, broad, butter, cannelloni, chickpea, flageolet, haricot, kidney, lima, mung, pinto, soya, and others, scattering them onto the floor and before marching out of the room, your feet stamping mercilessly upon them as you depart.
It's interesting to observe how the calmest of individuals is unable to maintain that Zen-like attitude when confronted with such a simple task as counting one bean at a time. What is in this simple of simple tasks that invokes such outbursts of uncontrollable rage? Is there any difficulty in the simple art of counting that we have failed to note when setting up this childishly simplistic experiment? Have we omitted something thus failing in our duty to realise that perhaps counting a dish of uncooked beans may be considered a dangerous activity in these hypersensitive times when so many nerves are easily frayed and some minds are perhaps too fragile to undertake such a task?
No, no, no, no, no, we categorically deny any accusation that suggests, implies or insinuates that we have failed to note that mental resilience is evidently lacking in some minds, and that scattering beans rather than counting them is perhaps the preferred action or behaviour of those unable to meet the counting challenge. Still, we are always optimistic and hopeful knowing that amongst the population there are those who love counting and find it therapeutic. For them counting a dish of dried beans is as exciting as anything that can be done on the planet.
It is to them that we say, ‘Enjoy yourself, have fun, develop your mind and master your emotions.’ and to the others our advice is, ‘Do not even start to count; you will not enjoy a single moment of it and will hate yourself for having ever started if you do.
Go and do something else with your time NOT this exercise.’
Remember that this (bean counting) exercise is part of the boring universe of The Twins: EnvironMENTAL Training™. We make no apology if you do not enjoy your experience with this or any of our mental games, drills or exercises. We are not a toyshop for bored minds.
"This boring exercise is simple to perform. In fact it’s so simple a monkey would tell you so, if only it could talk." The Islington Twins
The Motherboard™ Book is for all the Arabellas and Ruperts around the world who love to indulge in dry, monotonous activities for the mere pleasure of attempting something that is notoriously boring and transforming that something into hours of fun and enjoyment. We applaud you all, and send each and everyone of you our very best wishes with the customary salutation that is familiar to all practitioners of EnvironMENTAL Training™, Tedium par Excellence!

Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.
Slide 6:
As we delve into the intricacies of our operations, one glaring issue emer

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.
