From Loughborough to D1

Welcome back to an extra special episode of College Football UK Have you ever wondered how athletes from the UK make the leap to Division 1 college football in the United States? Or what it really takes to turn raw international talent into elite-level prospects? In this episode, the hosts are joined by Steve Hagen, head coach of the NFL Academy, who shares insights from a coaching career spanning over four decades. Hagen reflects on his unique journey into football—starting as a ball boy for the Dallas Cowboys—and how an early setback as a player ultimately led him into coaching. He discusses the breadth of his experience across the U.S. and internationally, and how those lessons have shaped his philosophy and approach to developing young athletes. The conversation also explores the mission and impact of the NFL Academy, particularly in growing the game outside the United States. Hagen highlights the importance of discipline, education, and creating opportunities for international players to pursue careers in American football. Throughout the chat, he offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build elite prospects, while emphasizing the Academy’s role in bridging pathways between global talent and the highest levels of the sport. We talk: 🏈 Coach's start in coaching 💡 learning under greats like Lou Holtz 💪 discipline and education 🤔 achieving the ultimate dream For more information on the NFL Academy: https://www.nflacademy.com/ NFL Academy on Twitter: https://x.com/NFLAcademy NFL Academy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nflacademy/ 🔗 Show Notes & Resources - 🎧 Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/college-football-uk/id1742345162 - 🎧 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5ljAdgsj45s7scJw7f3FSL - 🎧 Other https://linktr.ee/cfbuk 📱 Follow & Support Us 🎧 Subscribe so you don’t miss episodes 👍 Like / comment your thoughts on this week 🔁 Share with fellow College Football fans 💬 DM or comment your topic ideas for next time 🔗 Asleep at Work Network 🪩 Discord: [https://discord.gg/U6KkTFBKkw] 🐦 Twitter: [https://www.twitter.com/aaw_network] 📸 Instagram: [https://www.twitter.com/aawnetwork] 😊 Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/aawnetwork] 🎥 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@aawnetwork] 🔗 College Football on the AAW 🐦 Twitter: [https://www.twitter.com/aaw_cfb] 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/aaw_cfb] 😊 Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/aaw_cfb] Hosted on Acast.
