In this conversation with guest Owen Miller, we explore the tension between individual expression and the collective art of soccer. From the careers of players like Lamine Yamal, Mbappé, Neymar, and Messi, to Owen’s own journey from player to coach, we examine how teams flourish when both the individual and the collective embrace a kind of “death and rebirth” — letting go of ego to make space for something greater.

The discussion also extends beyond the game, touching on how life decisions are shaped by the “who’s” we choose to prioritize, and how reimagining what it means to be at our “peak” can transform how we see challenges, injuries, and setbacks. With gratitude at the center, we discover that we’re always capable of being at a peak version of ourselves in some area of life.
