What does the common person think of when they here the word art? They think paintings, movies, sketches, sculptures, photoshop. Most of the time they think of something crafted by someone. Anything that is mastered or worked on by someone is a form of art.
Camine Gallo published an article in Forbes that is titled “70% Say presentation skills are critical for career success”. In soccer its the same way for most players today, they perform in practice get a salary make a team and when the day comes to present their skills to the world they either make it or just don’t impress as they should. For example the Brazil international team loss against Germany in 2014 they thought they were gonna win, and Brazil biggest loss they had ever had.
As Gallo states that the fear of presenting is very real in todays modern day America, for him he uses something to help him keep on track and new so that is it innovative and helps people understand how incisive and clear he wants to be. It’s very relatable to soccer coaches as people believe they are very cocky people they say their players are the best and his team, so all eyes are there and trusts himself and his team to perform and succeed. For example Jose Mourinho has so much trust in himself and the team he builds that he has won a major championship in every league! He doesn’t fail to impress many people. When he knows he’s gonna win he makes it clear before the game and intensifies his image to all that watch.
On a separate video David JP Phillips shares his thoughts on powerpoint and describes it as an art, then asks a question that puzzles me. “Why do power points look the way they look, how can we except the way they look as a form of presenting them for your well being?!” This quote is very similar to ads when it comes to presenting clothing or athletes, they want to present an athlete and get their word across with a slogan they created. For example the risk everything nike commercial where they got the worlds top players of different nationalities and placed them in this commercial in a very simple but interesting way.
“If it isn’t written, Write it yourself” Mr. Phillips says as he had gone through similar problems with boredom in presentations, he read books, searched for seminars, and tried books but then he came across this quote that sparked his intelligence in presenting. As in many of the players I have looked up to is because of the belief in the quote “If it isn’t written, write it yourself” because theirs no better way in presenting success if you don’t leave your comfort zone, or try something unexpected. Lionel Messi signed a contract at age 13 with FC Barcelona a famous club in Spain. He moved from Argentina to Barcelona and became the worlds best player 5 times.
The big idea of presenting is making it so its not one of the others. If its not written for you write it yourself and present it yourself, The big idea isn’t so big its simple but shows so much more intelligence in its simplicity.
