VIDEO - The problem is not really the problem.
Jamie Gilbert had to sell fruits on the side of the roads in Ireland when pursuing his dream of becoming a professional soccer player. While people were picturing him playing in a full stadium in the MLS, he was going to practice with the Colorado Rapids and leaving the pitch in a mad hurry to go pick up balls at a golf course to make a buck. He hustled like few to keep his dream alive while caring for his family.
Nowadays, Jamie is much more than a pro soccer player. He is the one of the authors of the known book in the sports community, Burn Your Goals. He has written other books, mentors athletes, and businesses from all over the world, and has just launched his newest project, The Principle Circle (Amazing by the way!).
Jamie mentored me throughout my soccer career, and we became really good friends.
Last week I had the opportunity to travel to Denver, where he resides at the moment with his lovely family, to soak in wisdom and create social media content for him and his company, Train To be Clutch.
It was incredible!
One of the best things that I have learned was that often what we think is the problem, is not the problem! It is our thinking about the problem that makes everything harder.
I filmed Jamie dropping some serious knowledge about this up at the mountains in Colorado. I felt at that moment that I needed to share this 1min45sec video with the world because it can motivate a change in lifestyle that means a better and more fulfilled life to everyone of us.
Seriously. Check this out.
It is raw. No special effects or fancy animations. Just truth and value.
