What does it take to become a champion? And a successful doctor?
Paolo Maldini: “When I was a guy, I had no idea what being talented meant. Though I had a great passion. That started everything. Above certain levels, talent is indispensable, but it is not enough without passion and sacrifice.鈥�
Besides the three basic pillars –聽talent,听passion and committment聽– sport and medicine share many other values: good example聽(to follow and to set),听丑辞苍别蝉迟测, humility,听team play聽and finally respect, the basis of any successful team聽– says聽Javier Zanetti.
