#8 How Pelé Actually Got That Good

People talk about Pelé like he was born great. This episode is about what actually built him.
He played with a sock stuffed with rags. He stole peanuts at 11 to fund his own club. He did karate and judo to become a better footballer. He earned a degree while still playing for Brazil — just to set an example.
His mentor told him the principle that the whole episode rides on. It's not important to be the best athlete in the world. What's important is to be the most intelligent.
Behind all of it were three architects. His dad, Waldemar de Brito, and Professor Mazzei at Santos. Almost every legend has an architect. The ones who don't usually break.
This is how Pelé actually got that good.
