MESSI: A MARVELLOUS PERSON ON AND OFF THE FIELD

  

 


 We all know that Messi is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Messi has won a record eight Ballon d'Or awards, a record six European Golden Shoes, and was named the world's best player for a record eight times by FIFA. Messi is the most decorated player in the history of professional football, with 44 team trophies.

MESSI: A STORY FOR EVERYONE is a children’s book written by Nicolas and Rocio with eleven gripping chapters. With striking illustrations, the book is apt for children to know more about the marvellous person Messi, on and off the field.

How to follow your dreams with determination? What are the efforts he put in to be successful? What were his steps towards his dream? How is he off the field?

These and many more are brought in this book for the kids, many of whom were his fans to have an out-and-out clear picture of the Football hero – Messi.

Messi's journey in football began when he was just a toddler. He displayed an uncanny ability to control the ball and dribble past opponents even before he could properly walk. His grandmother, Celia, played a pivotal role in nurturing his talent, often taking him to local parks and pitches to play football.

One distinct piece of information is on page 64 of the book I quote:

‘’And he never forgets his Grandmother, that every celebration with his fingers up is a greetings to her.”

Messi recognizes that there are far more important things in life than his achievements on the field. To him, it is not simply just about learning how to play football. His humility grounds him to his biggest aspiration of wanting to constantly be a better person for himself and others.

I quote: “I am more concerned about being a good person than being the best player in the world.”

Messi is a role model for many as well as a hero because other than playing soccer he also helps out charities and groups that are beneficial. He donates money to the charity groups also talks to the children sometimes as motivation making him a true hero to look up to. He does a good deal of things through the LEO MESSI FOUNDATION

The book carries the journey of Messi from a kid to a world champion.

Lionel Messi's life and career have an array of valuable lessons for all of us. His quotes reflect being humble, being unfazed by failure, and above all, knowing the true values of humanity. These beliefs are not unique to a sport but to life.

“The Dream of being the WORLD CHAMPION came true!’’ these words of Messi assure children to dream big and overcome obstacles with iron determination to taste success by fulfilling their dreams.

The book is bound to inspire millions of kids and parents can be open and clear in explaining the life of Messi as it is true and a real journey.

Notice what activities your child naturally gravitates towards. These could be early indicators of their inherent talents and passions. Research suggests that children are more likely to excel in areas they are naturally drawn to.

Identify it and who knows maybe your kid is next MESSI!

  3. When we talk of Messi, name of fellow Argentinian Diego Maradona comes up. Till recently Messi had everything sans world cup. Now he has that also. Unlike Maradona, who was brash, unashamed of using any trick to win, used to do drugs, Messi is humble, kind and wants to be good Hyman being. With his kind of fame and success, Messi is certainly on the way to attain a god like stature. Thank you for sharing so much info on Messi.

  10. Loved the review. This overview of "Messi: A Story for Everyone" sounds fantastic! I love how the book not only highlights Messi’s incredible achievements but also emphasizes the importance of humility and kindness. It’s inspiring to see a sports figure who values being a good person as much as being the best player.

    The anecdotes about his grandmother’s influence really add a personal touch, making his journey relatable for kids. I appreciate that the book encourages children to pursue their dreams with determination, which is such an important message.

    It's great that you're encouraging parents to pay attention to their children's interests—who knows what hidden talents they might discover! I’m excited to see how this book can inspire young readers to dream big, just like Messi.
