On November 10, 2009, the German national goalkeeper, Robert Enke, stepped in front of a passing train. He was 32 years old. Viewed from the outside, Enke had it all. He was a professional goalkeeper who had played for a string of Europe's top clubs, including Jose Mourinho's Benfica and Louis Van Gaal's Barcelona, and was destined to be his country's first choice for years to come. But beneath the bright veneer of success lay a darker story. Reng brings into sharp relief the specific demands and fears faced by those who play top-level sport. Heartfelt, but never sentimental, he tells the universal tragedy of a talented man's struggles against his own demons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Reng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0224091662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780224091664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yellow Jersey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.20d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ronald Reng","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913415459071,"sku":"9780224091664","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d3ea476a-1ffa-4b0f-a2bf-bd3f3d2f78e0.jpg?v=1680620281","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-life-too-short-ronald-reng-9780224091664","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
