its amazing how the power of speech, body language and volubility of a person can influence even the most hostile of audiences. today i sat in a lecture where the former chief physio of Manchester United and current chief physio of Blackburn talked about his job. Now, let me just say, I am not interested in the least in becoming a sports physio. Not now, not ever. But he didn't make it out to be a glamourous world. on the contrary, he painted a real picture of competitive bitchy pansy-assed players and the obligatory domineering manager (couldn't tell if he was referring to his current manager or the former, whats the difference anyway?)
still, i was fascinated. i still wouldn't like to work in any professional sporting club, be it football or rugby league or crown green bowls but the way he carried himself with such confidence, it was enthralling. its like that story "Destination Unknown" by Agatha Christie (she describes with much better flair), where the twisted evil-genius-millionaire practically hypnotises the crowd with the mere power of his words.
The power of motivational speakers, the power of politicians! and the vulnerable weak minds of the masses. fascinating business.
By the way, he graduated from salford uni physio school. another fact: the current Man utd physio also graduated from salford university. so yeah, feeling a teensy bit proud of salford university now, well, maybe just the school of physiotherapy.

power gila... sports physio earns a lot of money. Somemore you so pretty. Can become a WAG in one of the football clubs :) think about.
nah, don't want. have to layan their egos all the time. takes a certain personality type to be a pro sportsman. although the WAG part is tempting.
