Souness: beating adversity key to success

GRAEME SOUNESS believes that it’s adversity rather than success which defines a successful sportsperson.

Speaking to the rising stars at the Irish Examiner Junior Sports Awards, the former Liverpool legend, Scottish international and well-travelled manager, insisted that, from his experience, the bigger the challenge, the bigger you become.

“What I am today, whatever type of person I am today, has been formed not by all the good things that have happened to me, but by all the setbacks,” he said.
