In 1986, Argentina was still recovering from one of the darkest chapters in its history. For an entire nation, the World Cup became more than a tournament - it became a symbol of hope. As the world watched Diego Maradona transform a single match into football history, a young boy in Buenos Aires glimpsed what his own future might hold. Today we hear from Daniel Santomil, former football coach and author of "No Brain, No Game." From the streets of Buenos Aires to coaching across the globe, Daniel shares the defining moments of his career and the life-altering incident that forced him to rethink football entirely, not just as a game of the body, but of the brain.
When you coach from the neuroscience perspective you create the environment to create a certain behaviour and then what you actually coach is... whether the player gets into the rhythm, whether he's emotionally involved... Because emotion is tied up to everything we do.Daniel Santomil, former football coach and author
