    Finding Your Identity: YOU ARE More Than Just a Footballer | Beyond Football Podcast | #QUESTIONS

    In this episode of the Beyond Football podcast, we explore the vital question: "Who are you beyond football?" Kicking off with light-hearted banter on a summer day, we launch our new segment, "Questions: Who Are You Beyond Football?" aimed at helping players, parents, and coaches reflect on life off the pitch. We debate nature versus nurture in success, citing icons like Ronaldo and Messi to highlight the blend of talent and hard work. Then, we address life after contract loss, sharing personal insights on resilience, mental health, and the importance of celebrating progress despite setbacks. Later, we tackle losing passion for the game, normalizing this experience and encouraging exploration of interests beyond football. We challenge the idea that passion must be constant and promote finding a balanced motivation. Throughout, we stress community and support, inviting listeners to engage as we help redefine identity beyond athletic achievement. Join us for this candid conversation and be part of the Beyond Football movement—reflect, connect, and grow. Don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share.

Joined by my co-host Tobi Sho-Silva, we sit down with Hugo Schechter — founder and managing director of The Player Care Group — to unpack how supporting players off the pitch can transform careers and lives.

We discuss: * The rise of player care and mental health awareness post-COVID * How off-pitch distractions impact performance * Cultural adjustment challenges for foreign players * Resistance from traditionalists in the game * Why identity beyond football is crucial * The need for support in lower-league and academy football * Whether clubs truly “care” — or just want results Hugo also reflects on the tension between being a good person and a successful player — and how ambition, selfishness, and support all play a role.

    What No One Tells You: The Hidden Challenges Every Footballer Faces (And How Rob Milsom Beat Them) EP 30

    In this episode, Rob Milsom shares an unfiltered account of his football career-from his early days at Fulham’s academy to navigating multiple clubs and overcoming serious injuries. He discusses the mental and emotional challenges players face, the importance of support and mentorship, and the need to prepare for life beyond the game. Only 1% of academy players make it to professional football, and the average first-team career at a single club lasts just 3.8 years. Lower-league players have less than a 2% chance of staying at their highest level after 10 years, and 40% of pros go bankrupt within five years of retirement. Rob’s story highlights the resilience and planning needed to thrive-on and off the pitch.
