Eitan Azaria, a former footballer who won two championships with Maccabi Haifa, tells in an interview with Oded Harush about the severe injury that ended his playing career at age 27. Azaria describes how his career was dependent on results, and how a mistake in a match against Be'er Sheva led him to feelings of guilt and shame. After the injury where he lost consciousness, he felt he had lost his identity. From the crisis, he began writing down his mistakes, and the document became a sought-after guide that led to a second career as a mental coach. He accompanied Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Maccabi Haifa to championship wins. Later, he discovered the Tanya book through a rabbi, and was surprised to find ideas he had dealt with for years through psychology. Azaria decided to give up working on Saturdays, and to his surprise his income tripled. Today he accompanies top athletes like Daniel Peretz and Deni Avdija, and combines principles from the Tanya with performance improvement tools. He also brings Jewish wisdom to international companies.
