Cristiano Ronaldo´S 10 Rules for Success “Unlock you bodY´ s full potential ” CRISTIANO RONALDO´S 10 RULES FOR SUCCESS In 1997, aged 12, he went on a three-day trial with Sporting CP, who signed him for a fee of £1,500. At age 16, Ronaldo was promoted from Sporting's youth team by first-team manager László Bölöni, who was impressed with his dribbling. He subsequently became the first player to play for the club's under-16, under-17, and under-18 teams, the B team, and the first team, all within one season. A year later, on 7 October 2002, Ronaldo made his debut in the Primeira Liga, against Moreirense, and scored two goals in their 3–0 win In 2008, he won his first Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards. Ronaldo then won the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2013 and 2014. In 2016, he received his fourth Ballon d'Or, the most for a European player in the history of the award, and the inaugural Best FIFA Men's Player. In 2015, Ronaldo scored his 500th senior career goal for club and country. Ronaldo began his senior club career playing for Sporting CP, before signing with Manchester United at age 18 in 2003. After winning his first trophy, the FA Cup, during his first season in England, he helped United win three successive Premier League titles, a UEFA Champions League title, and a FIFA Club World Cup. By age 23, he had received Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations. He was the subject of the most expensive association football transfer when he moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009 in a transfer worth €94 million ($132 million). Ronaldo made his international debut for Portugal in August 2003, at the age of 18 Forbes has twice ranked Ronaldo first on their list of the world's highest-paid football players; his combined income from salaries, bonuses and off-field earnings was $73 million in 2013–14 and $79 million in 2014–15. 1.

  • Sport and Play in a Digital World
    Sport and play in a digital world Call for papers in Sport, Ethics and Philosophy Dr. Ivo van Hilvoorde ([email protected]) Digital technology plays an important role in the everyday lives of people. The increasing popularity and attraction of gaming has often been framed as a problematic and disquieting development, because the time spent with digital media is supposed to be at the expense of ‘real’ playing and exercising time. In the last decade however, new games emerged on the market that do not conform anymore to the standard idea that gaming contradicts with playing ‘real sports’. ‘Sport games’ are gaining in significance all over the world and are even challenging the modern and hegemonic concept of sport (Taylor, 2012). As some researchers argue, new technologies allow for entirely ‘new forms of play that we’ve only just begun to imagine’ (Pesce, 2000, p. 213; Sydnor, 2001). There is still a lot of confusion about some of the concepts that are being used to describe this development towards the digitalization of play and sport culture. Concepts like sport gaming, virtual sports and exergaming are often used in a rather loose manner and may refer to a variety of manifestations of ‘digital play’, such as the simulation of real sports, cybersport and e-sports on either traditional or motion-controlled game consoles. With the term cybersport, Hemphill (2005: 199) refers to ‘alternative sport realities, that is, to electronically extended athletes in digitally represented sporting worlds’. Whereas Hemphill speaks of ‘alternative sport realities’, other definitions imply that e-sports is simply a new subset of the family of sports.

And a very wishful thinker. p. 16 p. 50 www.streetfootballworld.org ABOUT FOOTBALL FOR GOOD & THE UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS I was at the beginning of my career when the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were established. For 15 years, they followed me and I followed them. In early 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development officially came into force. Over the next fifteen years, with these new goals that universally apply to all, the 193 United Nations member states have pledged to mobilise efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind. The members of the streetfootballworld network, and many more friends and fellows across the globe, have intrinsically adopted such an attitude already during the establishment of their organisations. In fact, the very reason they initiated their programmes in the Mathare Valley, the streets of Dublin or the favelas of Rio was because governments had failed to address the needs of those on the margins of society.

  • Historiography of Korean Esports: Perspectives on Spectatorship
    International Journal of Communication 14(2020), 3727–3745 1932–8036/20200005 Historiography of Korean Esports: Perspectives on Spectatorship DAL YONG JIN Simon Fraser University, Canada As a historiography of esports in Korea, this article documents the very early esports era, which played a major role in developing Korea’s esports scene, between the late 1990s and the early 2000s. By using spectatorship as a theoretical framework, it articulates the historical backgrounds for the emergence of esports in tandem with Korea’s unique sociocultural milieu, including the formation of mass spectatorship. In so doing, it attempts to identify the major players and events that contributed to the formation of esports culture. It periodizes the early Korean esports scene into three major periods—namely, the introduction of PC communications like Hitel until 1998, the introduction of StarCraft and PC bang, and the emergence of esports broadcasting and the institutionalization of spectatorship in the Korean context until 2002. Keywords: esports, historiography, spectatorship, youth culture, digital games In the late 2010s, millions of global youth participated in esports as gamers and viewers every day. With the rapid growth of various game platforms, in particular, online and mobile, people around the world enjoy these new cultural activities. From elementary school students to college students, to people in their early careers, global youth are deeply involved in esports, referring to an electronic sport and the leagues in which players compete through networked games and related activities, including the broadcasting of game leagues (Jin, 2010; T. L. Taylor, 2015). As esports attract crowds of millions more through online video streaming services like Twitch, the activity’s popularity as one of the most enjoyable sports and business products continues to soar.
