Rio Ferdinand Punks David James

David James had a stellar season this year with Pompey, and although the England No.1 has from time to time been beat up on the football field, he has come through it many times over to show that he has the resilience to be one of the best goalkeepers in The Premiership.

With that said, David James also has a unique persona that shines through even in a rough situation, something that every goalkeeper should learn how to utilize. One of the key principles behind succeeding as a soccer goalkeeper is that apart from having the ability in spades, it is the way you carry yourself through a rough situation.

Yes, sometimes smiling when the chips are down, or when you find yourself in a sticky situation is a great way of staying focused on the next situation. The following video was part of a series developed by Rio Ferdinand of Manchester United. Jamo fancies himself an art critic, and Ferdinand does a great job of Punking (if you have ever watched Punk'd on MTV by American movie star Ashton Kutcher) him into submission!

 

By the way, Happy Mothers Day to all the Mums around the world who may frequent this site for their sons and daughters! We love you Mum!
