Rob pays tribute to the legendary English football manager, Brian Clough. Rob reflects on Clough's upbringing in a working-class family, his incredible goal-scoring record as a player, and his subsequent rise to become one of the greatest football managers in history. Rob delves into Clough's successful principles, such as his emphasis on recruiting good players and his belief in the importance of the spine of a team. He also explores Clough's challenges, including his infamous 44 days at Leeds United and his struggles with alcohol. Through personal anecdotes and insights from Clough's autobiography, Riles provides listeners with a deeper understanding of the enigmatic and influential figure that was Brian Clough.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Brian Clough was a highly successful football manager who achieved great success with Derby County and Nottingham Forest.
Clough believed in recruiting good players and letting them play, emphasizing the importance of having talented individuals in the team.
He had a strong partnership with Peter Taylor, who complemented Clough's strengths and weaknesses, leading to their success as a managerial duo.
Clough's management style was simple and focused on man management rather than complex coaching systems.
Despite his success, Clough's ego and personal issues, including his struggles with alcohol, affected his relationships and ultimately led to his downfall.
BEST MOMENTS
"He was outspoken. He was a rebel. He was talented and successful."
"Clough recruited good players and got two, three, and more years out of them than anybody else believed was possible."
"He admits he was egotistical. He admits he didn't listen. And he admits now he did it the wrong way."
"He often sent flowers to wives and his way of getting an influence over the player was to speak to the player's wife."
"He was an unorthodox. He would pull no punches and he would be demanding in terms of what he wanted."

KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"I think a lot of us underestimate the value that we have when we coach the younger generation that's coming up and that aspires to do that."
"I never thought that I couldn't fly fighter jets. I had no idea how to do it. But I never really had anybody tell me, no, you can't do that definitively."
"I think the important thing is there's the hunger there and there's action behind it. That character I was just like I don't know what I'm doing, but I know that I started college and I started taking aviation related classes and I started flying and I started just doing things that were down that track."
"If you're a bad apple and you can't get on with people, then you're going to struggle. And if you speak to elite coaches and you say, look, as long as you've got somebody who's got an ability, it doesn't have to be the very best in the world, but if they have an ability to perform, it's the psychological aspect that will make them world-class."

Rob delves into the life and career of renowned football manager Jose Mourinho. Drawing from Patrick Barclay's book "Anatomy of a Winner," Riles explores Mourinho's journey from a middle-class upbringing in Portugal to becoming one of the most successful football managers of the modern era.
Rob highlights Mourinho's unique skill set, including his intelligence, multilingual abilities, sports science knowledge, and teaching background. He also discusses Mourinho's formative years as an assistant to Sir Bobby Robson and Louis van Gaal, where he gained invaluable experience and developed trust and reliability.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Jose Mourinho is a highly successful football manager and coach, known for his winning mentality.
Mourinho's upbringing and early experiences in football, including working as an interpreter for Sir Bobby Robson, shaped his career.
Mourinho possesses multiple intelligences, including linguistic ability, sports science knowledge, and teaching skills.
He is a master psychologist, using the media and mind games to create an advantage for his teams.
Mourinho is also an innovative and detail-oriented coach, integrating technical, tactical, physical, psychological, and social aspects of the game in his training sessions.
BEST MOMENTS
"And I think one of the, or amongst the things that excite people about Mourinho and intrigue people about Mourinho is the way in which he landed into the most successful league in the world, the English Premier League with Chelsea and how he took it by storm."
"Jose Mourinho was an overnight success. Very quickly following on from the great success he had in Portugal, as anybody who is invested in the game knows, he went on to have enormous success at Chelsea, coached Manchester United, Real Madrid, and continues to be a highly successful European coach now in Italy."
"He built them up to be greater than they were. He lent them every bit of belief he had and made them feel great and made them into the best players that they could possibly be."
"Obsessed with detail as many great leaders and winners are. But on the football pitch, he was at the vanguard or the forefront, the cutting edge of evolution, where technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects of football coaching are brought into the arena of everything being done together."

Rob explores the concept of true authentic leadership and the qualities that make a person a true leader. He emphasises the importance of being a doer, someone who takes action and creates positive change, rather than just speaking about it.
Rob also discusses the power of hope and how seemingly hopeless situations can be overcome with determination and perseverance. He delves into the role of dopamine in driving human behavior and highlights the importance of the journey rather than the destination.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"A leader is not someone with a name on a door, that is, humanly created. A leader is a doer. Somebody who does something. Who takes action."
"Very little is hopeless. Life is hard, brutal, challenging, probably things will take 10 times as long as you thought they will take, they will be 10 times harder, and you may not get anywhere near achieving what it is that you thought you would do in the timeframe that you hoped. But there are too many stories and there is too much evidence about human beings about individuals who have achieved great things from seemingly hopeless situations."
"It's the hope that gives you the dope. It's not the achievement or it's not the acquisition necessarily, because yet today's success is tomorrow's irritation. Today's happiness is tomorrow's misery."

He then delves into the concept of love, emphasising that true love is demonstrated through the investment of time.

"How do you know when somebody truly loves something or someone? They spend their time and are prepared to spend their most valuable asset, which is your time, with or on that particular person or subject."
"Be yourself. Be truly and utterly yourself. It is the way"
"As a leader, you have to be responsible first and foremost for yourself. But if you consider yourself a leader and you wish to influence others and be there for others and show a caring aspect for others, you need to take responsibility for them."
