Goalkeepers have an unusual view of the world, but Brad Friedel's is more unusual than most. He realised that to work well in the box, you have to be able to think outside it: how do you improve the probability of saving a penalty? What's the difference between an 'improver' and 'importer' manager? And what can we learn from Victorian philanthropists?
Friedel endured a five-year battle to get to the top flight and earn his reputation as one the most highly rated keepers in the country. Yet he has little time for the materialistic culture that surrounds professional football and chooses instead to concentrate on his game. This is the inspirational and uplifting story of an unusual guy who thinks 'outside the box'.
