The story of Martin Braithwaite and his move to Barcelona, is the fascinating story of a man who believed in himself the way nobody else did. You see, Braithwaite broke through as a striker in Denmark, playing for Esbjerg. He transferred to Toulouse in France, where he had some good years. Braithwaite then made a move to Middlesbrough, to play in the Championship in England. But after just half a season in England, Braithwaite left Middlesbrough to go back to France, on loan to Bordeaux.Braithwaite was 26 years old and a substitute player at Bordeaux, a mid-table team in France, when he started to record a diary. He had a specific reason to do so. Braithwaite believes in the law of attraction. Meaning that positive or negative thoughts bring positive or negative experiences into a person's life. Braithwaite believes that if you set goals, and constantly visualize how to get there, you can realize these goals. He wanted to have proof, so if one day he would play for a top team in Europe, he could show that he believed in that possibility even when his career as a professional footballer was struggling at Bordeaux. It’s crazy to listen to those recordings, now we know that Braithwaite would make it to FC Barcelona years later. So let’s go back in time and listen to the first clip Braithwaite recorded, sitting at home in his apartment in Bordeaux.- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
