In 1998, soccer star David Beckham made international news at his first World Cup when he lost his cool and got a critical red card. But he went on to lead his teams to numerous titles, become runner up for World Player of the Year, and even be knighted for his contributions to the game. In this episode, David joins Adam at the World Economic Forum in Davos to talk about the thrill of performing under pressure, strategies for managing strong emotions, and the unifying power of sport. Adam also grills David about his competitive drive and his unwavering commitment to showing up early.Host & GuestAdam Grant (Instagram: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">adamgrant</a> | LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @adammgrant</a> | Website:<a href="https://adamgrant.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://adamgrant.net/</a>)David Beckham (Instagram: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/davidbeckham/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">davidbeckham</a> | Website: <a href="https://www.davidbeckham.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.davidbeckham.com/</a>)For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts</a>Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at&nbsp;<a href="https://attend.ted.com/podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">attend.ted.com/podcast</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
