Zero to 100 by Harry Kane

[coyspurs18]

Not sure how many of you are familiar with The Players Tribune. It's a site where professional athletes post personal stories. Eric Dier penned one called Dreams not too long ago.

The latest is from Harry Kane and is a very good read.

There is some fantastic insights on that website and I always have a look. The Rio Ferdinand one was fantastic as well I thought.

But now, my motivation is a bit different. Now, I close my eyes and I picture myself lifting the Premier League trophy at our new stadium with my mates. I’d trade the next 100 goals for that feeling.

Genuine goosebumps!!

Great article and something a lot of youngsters should use as an example.

Will be bookmarking the website too, never heard of it before.

It's good but it's just written by some journo, not Kane

Why would that matter, either way?

Why would that matter, either way?

I didn't say it makes the article unenjoyable but it does change it slightly for me as it's not as much of a look into Harry's personality, it's just an interview rather than the personal autobiography it's painted as.

Also it's just misleading and bad practise as no where visible do they state that it's not Harry who's written it

You think Harry is that good a writer?

You think Harry is that good a writer?

You think he isn’t?

 

[Griff001]

Nothing is ever a personal autobiography though, every autobiography is ghost-written surely? This doesn't seen any different for me...

Words are spoken by Harry and polished into a coherent article. Good enough for me.

 

[Streetspur77]

I was just saying because it's clear some did think it was written by Kane because the website doesn't make it clear. I didn't say it made it bad.

Meh if you watch the video it's definitely Harry's words so that's good enough for me.

No but theres a difference between paraphrasing and direct quotes and i detected almost no paraphrasing at all in that article.

Not a huge fan of players' tribune to be honest. There are usually a couple of interesting little tidbits but most of the articles on there are just your run-of-the-mill cliches and quite boring IMO. Like an extended version of a post-match interview where they don't really say anything much. There's only so many articles you can read that just say:

• Was born in place X
• Didn't have much growing up, but there was a lot of love, my mum always supported me
• I was always out playing football from sun up to sun down
• One day I got scouted and my dreams came true, at least I thought so at the time
• I worked hard and gave it my all but struggled initially and sometimes thought i'd never make it
• One day <insert significant life event/epiphany> happened and everything changed
• Suddenly I was good, got into the first team
• I'm blessed
• The end

Seems like that's the basic template for most of the articles on there that I've read.
