In relation to a couple of posts re Ronaldo and how hard he works etc, read a book called ' Bounce' written by a Table Tennis World Champion. Its a great read. It basically gives evidence and information on sportsmen like Ronaldo, Messi, Ribery and other sportsmen like Federer etc are not just born with an amazing talent. It actually takes opportunity, hard work, practice, determination and attitude. They have just 'got it'.

Back on topic. Just read CET have released a story saying the club are trying to fine Lobjoit a club. This is all rather confusing. It says in said article that MK Dons snapped him up so why is he in our development squad? I remember hearing before he jointed MK so I was suprised when I heard he was with us. Sounds like he may have a bad attitude so I'd get rid of him.

Read Outliers by Malcom Gladwell. There's a ton of evidence that excellence in ANY field (sports, business, computer programming) is determined by the hours of focussed practice you've put in. Apparently to be world class in anything takes 10,000 hours of practice or roughly 3 hours a day for 10 years. To be world class at 18 or 19 would mean you've been practising (not just playing) your skills every day for over a decade. Real dedication.
The sad fact most don't like is that there's nothing special about the exceptional apart from their willingness to dedicate themselves to their craft.

We got him from MK Dons it says "Coventry City development squad player Leon Lobjoit is set to leave the club little more than 12 months after being snatched up from MK Dons"

Oh OK, I read it wrong. Your first post above regarding the book is spot on. These people wasnt born with an amazing talent. Yes they had good basic skills and ideas and the urge to play the sport but it takes thousands of hour of practice and opportunity to get there. That is the only difference,

[h=1]Leon Lobjoit leaving Coventry City after failing to fulfill early promise[/h]15 Jan 2014 09:0818-year-old midfielder was seen as a precocious talent by former Sky Blues boss Mark Robins
Coventry City development squad player Leon Lobjoit is set to leave the club little more than 12 months after being snatched up from MK Dons.
The 18-year-old midfielder was seen as a precocious talent by former Sky Blues boss Mark Robins, who snapped him up on a technicality in November 2012 following an exceptional trial in the Under-21’s 3-2 victory at Leicester City.
Robins said at the time that it was: “one of the best debuts I’ve seen so we took him and signed him straight after the game.”
City’s Academy had been tracking him for two years and he was very much part of the development squad, being included in the Sky Blues’ pre-season tour to Holland and playing in several friendlies in the summer.
However, the teenager has fallen out of favour in recent months and the club are currently helping him to find another club.
The player angered some fans yesterday by tweeting: “ Man Like Leon Clarke Hahaa Too Good For Certain Teams Deffo Needs To Play Higher League #TeamClarkeeeee.”

Just had a look at Leon Job-lot's Twitter account. The standard of spelling and grammar is so bad it's almost indecipherable.
