Virgil Stănescu. Pot sportivii să facă și carte?

In episode 2 of The Other Side of Glory (a BRD Locker Room project), Virgil Stănescu, former captain of the national basketball team, talks to Cătălin Striblea about the road to success, his experience in the basketball universe in the USA — where the “crème de la crème” is located — and the challenges that come with the end of his sports career. What comes after 20 years of basketball, when is the time to retire? For Virgil Stănescu, the answer began to take shape long before the last game, he learned as much as he could and built his perspectives for life after sports in advance. Directly and without detours, Virgil explains what is really behind success: talent is only a small part, and the remaining 90% is work, discipline and education. After all, performance at the highest level in sports, but also in life, lies in the thousands of hours of training, which are not seen on television. A very good discussion about choices, mentality and how sports prepare you for life. Enjoy watching! ***(P) A BRD project - Locker Room 01:50 – “I am not the greatest basketball player.
