9位运动员出身的500强公司CEO
9. 布莱恩•罗伯茨 55岁的康卡斯特公司(Comcast)CEO布莱恩•罗伯茨不擅长打篮球(据报道,他曾被赶出高中校队),但他却是壁球界的明星。他在宾夕法尼亚大学(Penn)打了四年壁球,取得的成绩包括最佳球员、副队长,曾入选常春藤联盟与全美第一阵容。不过,罗伯茨的成就不止于此。他曾在以色列马加比厄运动会多次摘取银牌(1981年,1985年,1997年和2009年),而且在2006年获得了金牌。他在2004年向《体育画报》(Sports Illustrated)讲述了自己的成功:“要想在商界取得成功,不论在身体上还是精神上,你都必须足够强大。”(财富中文网) 译者:刘进龙/汪皓 |
9. Brian Roberts The Comcast CMCSA 3.36% CEO Brian Roberts, 55, didn't excel at basketball (he was reportedly cut from the team in high school), but he was a star at squash. He played four years at Penn, including being the No. 1 player, a co-captain, and a first-team All-Ivy and All-American. But that wasn't all Roberts accomplished. He grabbed a slew of silver medals (in 1981, 1985, 1997 and 2009) and a gold medal in 2006 in Israel's Maccabiah Games. He spoke with Sports Illustrated about his success in 2004: "If you're going to accomplish something in business, you have to be tough, physically and mentally." |
