Soccer Extreme : Sir Alex Ferguson has identified Tiger Woods as the perfect role model for his Manchester United players. United remain on course for an unprecedented quintuple this season and Ferguson believes that Woods exemplifies the qualities required to achieve great success.Ferguson said: “It can be difficult for some that have the nature that, when they get into a comfortable zone, they can relax too much and can’t get it back.
“Whereas real stars - you think of Tiger Woods - he’s been off golf for months, he comes back after that knee operation and there he is, he wins that tournament (Arnold Palmer Invitational) last week.
“You tell me what drives him on and it is that they’re special people.No matter how successful they are, they have a driving force in them that makes them want to win the next one and the next one - that’s their nature.
Others’ nature is “oh I don’t need to go to work tomorrow, I’ve got enough money, I’ll retire at 30.”
