Helping footballers improve their game on and off the pitch.
I was scrolling the Gram as you do, and then I come across a video, "Old Man Tests It".
It was a therapist putting on one shoe and tying it up, and I thought, "You know what, it can't be that hard. I'll give it a go."
Is it really easy, or am I just an outlier who has unbelievable balance from my football days? 😂
P.S. It skews the socks, and I know I'm going to get killed by my missus for not cleaning up the floor before I did this video. I apologise in advance, Jeni

I always test players.
When I go into a club, I’ll ask:
Who here doesn’t fear judgement?
Hands go up.
Who here sees themselves as a leader?
More hands go up.
Then I ask for a volunteer.
Silence.
That’s the reality.
Leaders go first.
They feel discomfort and move towards it.
They feel fear and step into it.
They don’t talk about it
they show it.
Most players say they lead.
But when it matters…
they wait.
They watch.
They follow the pack.
So the question is simple:
Do you actually lead…
or do you just like the idea of being a leader?
If you like to lead yourself and improve, I’ve got a free 17 minute training for you.
Message me ‘training’ and I’ll send it to you.
Oh my god, I’ve actually got it!
Thanks to everyone who’s got it so far, it means the world.
Bit of a surreal moment when you look back and when I first started writing it in lockdown.
Then looking at it after writing it from start to finish and then going, nah this doesn’t feel right.
It’s all teaching, it needs stories!
Real life stories and vulnerability so I had to do it all over again.
Thanks to everyone who’s written in it and contributed their stories and written in it.
