Mohamed Salah on SIBF 2024: 90% of my success comes from what I’ve learned through reading
Global football sensation Mohamed Salah captivated audiences at the 43rd Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF 2024) with an inspiring revelation: the secret behind his extraordinary success lies in books. “Ninety percent of my success is rooted in what I’ve learned from books. Reading has helped me become a better version of myself,” Salah shared, underscoring the profound impact of reading on his personal and professional journey.
The Role of Books in Shaping a Champion
Renowned for his speed, precision, and relentless determination on the football field, Salah opened up about how reading has played a crucial role in his development. “I started reading extensively after I left Chelsea,” he explained. “Books made me question how people achieve success and what it truly takes to reach greatness.” Salah encouraged attendees to adopt a culture of learning and self-discovery, stressing the importance of gaining diverse perspectives.
A fan of psychology books, Salah credited them with helping him better navigate relationships and life’s challenges. “They’ve given me tools to manage emotions, understand people, and tackle the ups and downs of life,” he noted.
From Humble Beginnings to Global Stardom
Salah’s journey began in his native Egypt, where he trained at Al Mokawloon Al Arab SC before embarking on a stellar European career. After stints at Basel, Chelsea, Fiorentina, and Roma, Salah joined Liverpool FC in 2017, solidifying his place as one of football’s greats.
During his talk, Salah gave fans a glimpse into his disciplined daily routine. “For the past decade, I’ve trained twice a day, even on holidays. I constantly push myself to improve,” he said, inspiring the audience with his dedication and work ethic.
Reading: A Family Tradition
Beyond football, Salah spoke about how reading has enriched his family life.
“My wife and I ensure our two daughters grow up with a love for books,” he revealed.
Their family library features a mix of Arabic and English titles, with a particular focus on psychology. Despite his busy schedule, Salah prioritizes reading in his personal life: “I always carry a book in my bag and make time to read before bed.”
He also shared an exciting future plan:
“I’m considering writing a biography to inspire younger generations who dream of taking a similar path to mine.”
A Legacy of Learning and Growth
With a glittering career that includes Premier League and UEFA Champions League titles, Golden Boots, and the Puskás Award, Salah’s accomplishments speak to his immense talent and perseverance. Yet, his success is equally rooted in his unwavering commitment to personal growth and self-improvement.
Through his inspiring session at SIBF, Salah reminded the audience of the transformative power of reading and the limitless potential that comes with a commitment to learning. His story stands as a testament to how books can shape not only great athletes but also well-rounded individuals.
