Summary of Rasmus Ankersen's Gold Mine Effect

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I spent my boyhood in rural western Denmark, in a little town in the middle of nowhere. I was captain of one of Denmark’s best youth teams, but I ended up injured before my career could even begin. I spent my career as a coach helping establish Scandinavia’s first football academy.

#2 The Danish defender Simon Kjaer was sold to Palermo in Italy when he was just eighteen years old. He was sold on to Wolfsburg in Germany when he was twenty, and now, still in his early twenties, he is with Roma.

#3 The story of Simon Kjaer is not one of raw, inbred talent. It is of anything but. His success should be explained by the fact that he was born with an extraordinary innate talent, but that is not the case.

#4 The case of Simon Kjaer is not unique. Coaches, managers, parents, and teachers all have to deal with their own Simon Kjaer problem. Talent is a crucial factor in the economic struggles taking place in the 21st century.
