Beyond The Bench - Moving to a new country and youth football

Welcome to Beyond the Bench – a podcast that goes deeper than the goals, the tackles, and the highlights. Football is more than just a game, and the players who grace the pitch have stories that go far beyond what we see during matchday. In each episode of Beyond the Bench, we invite you into the world of football players, not just as athletes, but as people navigating the complexities of life both on and off the field.

Footballers are often seen as larger-than-life figures, celebrated for their skill, athleticism, and ability to entertain millions. But behind the scenes, these athletes face real-life challenges that extend far beyond the spotlight. Mental health struggles, dealing with injuries, adjusting to life after football, and navigating the evolving landscape of women’s football are just a few of the topics we explore on this podcast. We aim to provide a space where athletes can share their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs in a raw and honest way, breaking down the barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health in sports.
