There was a time when I swallowed all the NBA games that Ramón Trecet broadcast on Saturday nights for TVE. There might not even be any private channels yet ...

And then to think that some Spaniard would manage to put on the championship ring sounded like a joke to us friends who every Sunday emulated the Jordan, Johnson, Bird, Wilkins and company. Fernando Martín's passage through this competition turned out to be gratifying but brief ...

However, many years later basketball in Spain enjoyed a boom that continues to this day. The greatest emblem of the glorious stage of basketball in Spain is Pau Gasol, without a doubt.

We have all been observing that in addition to the skills on the field, Pau also moves with ease in interviews and the media, expanding at ease on complementary aspects of the sport as well as on social circumstances that demand our attention.

This book is an interesting introspection on the idol, the perspective of the character himself who knows how he has come to achieve sporting glory and who enjoys transmitting it as a coaching system that addresses the personal, the motivational towards whatever our objective may be.

Because currently, when the end of his sports career looms near, we all take stock of one of the greatest Spanish athletes. But behind is the how and the motivation for the what. The qualities of Pau Gasol are undeniable. But we can't believe that genetic chance does much more than 50% of the work toward success.

It is even certain that this optimal endowment can succumb on more occasions than we think to imponderables such as frustration or defeat.

On more than one occasion Gasol talks about reinventing himself. And nothing better than this word to focus on the need to improve, especially when circumstances that were previously favorable to us suddenly change.

It is not about resorting to the hackneyed term of the comfort zone as there is no greater comfort zone than opening up to all changes. It's about reading and learning, being realistic but aiming for the impossible.

The path is marked this time by Pau Gasol. And it never hurts to read the impressions of a great in every way to end up reinforcing the foundations of the will that can guide us towards success, despite the earthquakes that we may have to face ...
