I’m with U on that one, Ryan – I prefer not even to count the books that are craving for my attention on my “to-be-read” shelf! A few on sports, a few on entrepreneurship, some more on social media, etc… I’ll have to think of writing a blog post just for that!

Hey Gabriel — I haven’t read any of his books, I’ll have to give it a try, but after seeing the 100 books list I have a lot of books on the shelf I have to read, including a bunch of soccer books still left to go through.

Great suggestions – thanks Ryan !
Have you ever read one of Murakami’s books (apparently, also pretty philosophical thoughts around running)? I got one (in French) for my birthday, can’t wait to start reading it…

I’d add in for soccer Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson, which deals with all you ever wanted to know and more about the evolution of tactics in soccer. or Morbo by Phil Ball, which deals with the history and nature of the Spanish game.

A great running book is Born To Run by Christopher McDougall which tells a great running story while intertwining academic studies on running’s hottest topics.

Hi Ryan,
I think that every passionate sportsperson finds him-/herself having to deal with this difficult balancing act. And the more I think of it, the more I’m convinced that, again, used properly, technology is a wonderful enabler to foster passion and help treat sports as a business.
I haven’t really been running much – ran my first 1/2 marathon last October, enjoyed it and decided to run a full one this year! I happen to be more of a SpeedSkater (inline), so I’m lucky to have decent endurance, which I can build on to run more efficiently. I bike quite often as well, so that takes care of 2 out of 3 triathlon disciplines – I am brushing up on my swimming, so I don’t start with drowning… I’ll only do an Olympic-distance triathlon (in August), no Ironman insight for me now! Congratulations to you for setting such an ambitious goal!
Looking forward to sharing more -hopefully- interesting posts on this blog, keep reading & commenting!
Best,
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

I completely agree with your post. I’ve started several futsal leagues here in the US and it’s difficult balancing the love of the sport with having to run a successful business, especially when dealing with youth where $$ is at a premium nowadays.

I just got into triathlon training myself (running a half ironman in August and full in 2011). How long have you been training?

Looking forward to reading more posts!

Best,

Ryan

Thanks for the info. – I’m afraid I can’t really control how the blog’s theme is displayed on the BB’s browser. It shows really well on my iPhone, in particular since I have a dedicated plugin installed (which converts the theme into a mobile-friendly theme)!
