What is talent? How do you fulfil your potential? How do you create a winning team? These three simple questions, which are fundamental to the running of any successful business, take Ben Lyttleton on a fascinating journey to some of the world's top football clubs to discover the innovative new methods of developing and maximising talent.

These clubs have revealed how they get an edge. And you can do the same. Ben Lyttleton speaks to some of the most original thinkers in football, going behind the scenes at Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, Liverpool, and the France national team, to pinpoint the skills and methodologies that are not only relevant to football but also the business world.

In eight short years English football was completely transformed. In 1989, with clubs already banned from Europe, the Hillsborough disaster tragically exposed football`s crumbling groups, self-serving administ-ration and callous neglect of iys followers. Football was in disgrace. Who could imagine that now? Today, cleaned up and sitting down, fotball is the sport of the 90s, much hyped ny the newly adoring media. But football is more than a game in recovery. It is now big business. Since the Taylor report forced English clubs to spend 600 million rebuilding their grounds and since Sky and the BBCp put 1 billion into the game, serious businessmen have arrived in football and have mostly been welcomed because of the money they were investing into the long-term health of the game.

The concept of First and Ten on the Twenty..Is it Football, Business or Life? was derived from the following universal concept-- one has to go through the thirty- yard line before one gets to the forty, and then the forty- yard line until one gets to the fifty- yard line, reaching the halfway point before progressing through another fifty yards to score a touchdown . The same is true in business and in life. All progress and achievements are built on incrementalism. While this was not the only comparison between business and life to football, the books concept was born. Football is more than a game; there is a process for accomplishment and success built into it. It is a process that can be replicated in both business and in life, even if one is not a devout football fan.
