【答案解析】[听力原文]
   W: Paul, can you tell me how you got interested in being a football manager?
   M: Yes, well I started out as a professional footballer. In my last club, the manager encouraged me to do some coaching, which I really enjoyed. And that's when I thought maybe I could make it as a manager.
   W: So what happened next?
   M: I started working for my coaching license, and then I heard about a certificate in football management, and applied for a place on the course.
   W: I've always thought that most managers just learn on the job. Were you not tempted to just give it a go anyway?
   M: Not really. I'm a typical footballer—I left school at 16, so I haven't had that much of an education. I didn't feel confident that I could deal with things like finance and negotiating with people.
   W: And is that the kind of thing you learn on this course?
   M: Yes, it really covers everything you need to know: leadership skills, talking to the media, handling pressure, public speaking. I've got a lot more confidence and I am really looking forward to my first managerial job.
   W: How does the course work in practice? I believe you're working as well as studying.
   M: That's right. After I got my coaching license I got a job as a coach. It's no problem combining work with studying, though. So really I'm learning on the job—I can put into practice what I've learnt.
   When did the man get the idea of being a football manager?
