    Phenomenal parenting. Unconditional love, but also drawing his son's attention to where he might be going wrong for himself in his own goals - and highlighting that he is loved either way. Incredible.

    One of the best piece of educational advice I've heard. Just by hearing the flying Dutchman say this gives me the goosebumps. Such a great way to discipline, yet at the same time, show love to your children!!

      There is nothing more toxic and more damaging than a kid living in his father's shadow and forced to be like him. Calling his son a loser even after saying that he loves him anyway, is manipulative and toxic parenting.
      For any success story there is thousands of kids all fuckd up because they tried to be something they were never meant to be. Good for therapists, they are making loads of money with this.

      Even if Van Persie doesn't want to, the truth is his kid will ALWAYS be compared with his father. That's a lot of weight on a kid that probably wants to be as good as his father, and being a "loser" for not being able to do it is a heavy heavy burden.

One day I realized that it's no use to blame others, the only thing I could do was do what is best for my team. From that day on I climbed up the ladder. I still use this mentally during my work in IT.

    I saw this video today and I also told my daughter (six years) today,
    if she likes to be the best at something then she has to find out what
    she really likes to do and then she has to do more in this hobby than the others.
    But if she likes to have many hobbies, then there is to less time for the hobby,
    where she likes to be the best.
    So she has to decide if she really want to be the best in one sport or she likes to do different things,
    but then she has to realize that she will not be the best.
    I learned her that it is ok not to be the best,
    that is hard work to be the best and that she can choose a life where she has not to be the best,
    but can have fun by doing different sports.

      Hahahahhahaa good one. He assessed that he have to blame himself for still being in Arsenal so he make improvements by joining United and a goat manager. Wise choices.

    Impressive advice, for someone who might not have a father with the name van Persie. Having a contract at 15 wuth the name van Persie in Holland is maybe little bit easier than having a contract with a non pro father in the background. Without having seen anyome this seems to be the way for the son's of Ex Pro players.
