Ep 37 Andre Borges - Discipline. Teamwork. Coachability.
Update: 2023-05-11
Description
Born and raised in New York to Brazilian parents, Andre Borges lived the American dream as a D1 soccer player for Clemson University and as a professional post-college. Soccer took him to many interesting places in Europe and ultimately back to his family origins - Brasil. While he considers himself very fortunate for that destiny, he lightheartedly adds it may have been the worst pro-athlete career ever. Yet, he wouldn't change anything and today puts the earned skills and passion into helping world-class businesses form their teams. Note: his bromance with co-host Fabio Tambosi dates way back before Fabio's marriage and thus before the podcast was a thing, so it's certainly worth a listen :).
We chat with Andre about:
- How the duality of his background shaped him.
- The defining nature of college sports and going pro.
- How and why the worst professional soccer career ever became the best things that happened to him.
- Three priceless qualities he gained playing sports and applies to his work today.
- Staying motivated while sitting it out on the bench.
- Pivoting to what is now a 12-year-long corporate career helping business form the best teams.
- Helpful insights into recruiting and headhunting.
