But it could have been something completely different from “fopped” fantastic career. As a young man, he loved to play and did not only do hockey, but also football and skis.
Points out “Foppa”
Now Forsberg is identified as the best example in the big debate on youth sports and many people’s heat at academies at a young age. Here is the fire speech that all sports parents must hear, see the video below.
– That’s what is so insane with the academies. How they treat children, because it should only be about the game and it is exactly the same with music. When we got to the rehearsal room, no one said this: “App, app, break, break! You must not play whatever songs you want. We will first practice scales, we will wear scales. Then at the end you get to run two Oasis songs, ”says the artist Viktor Norén When he visits the program “Football Morning”.

He is not gracious in his criticism of how children are treated and points out Peter Forsberg.
– It’s horrible. And it is so incredibly interesting. I talked to Peter Forsberg and he told me … because they also can’t choose sports when football eats them up, so they can’t play football and hockey. Without already at seven years they play football all year round and you have to choose already then, says Norén in their exposition, see the video below.
– Foppa told me that if it had been so when he was 14 years old, then he would have chosen football instead. So this is, perhaps, the world’s best hockey player ever and he would not have played hockey if he had to relate to the rules that we believe lead to good football players. So it’s so damn bizarre.
