Dreams in Thin Air
Dreams in Thin Air | Michael Nybrandt
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Twenty years ago, a young Dane was cycling across Tibet. An unexpected storm forced him to seek shelter in a monastery, where he discovered the Tibetan people's unique passion for soccer. During that trip, he also learned about the heartbreaking treatment the Tibetan people received at the hands of the Chinese Government. He envisioned the creation of a Tibetan national football team as a means to create awareness of the plight of the Tibetan nation and a way to enable the Tibetan people to showcase their unique culture - without reference to geopolitical relations. This is the story of how the Tibetan national soccer team came to be. But most of all, it is a universal story that shows how commitment and determination can make even the most unrealistic dreams come true. With a preface by His Holiness The Dalai Lama.

I had not heard of this story, but I will probably buy my first football jersey soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was offered this book at Metro Comics, looked at it, and declared, "I don't think this is my cup of tea."
Turned it around.
Read what it was about.
"This is right up my alley!"
