About

This blog is my reflections and thoughts on life, business and human behaviour, as I see it, sometimes as a player, sometimes as a captain, sometimes as a coach or simply as a spectator.

In some of these reflections, I hope you will find an echo of your thoughts and of your ideas. In some of these words, you will find strong points of disagreement, and it is your comments and debates on these that will add depth and dimension to my own reflections.
