In this episode of One Day, Jon welcomes Arie Kouandjio to discuss all things football, coaches, and how people can be an inspiration for us in all areas of life. Arie shares that he was very lucky from a young age to have a coach that guided him, pointed him in the right direction, and helped him get prepared not only for the challenges of football, but also for the challenges of the day-to-day life.

“I learned a ton in football. However, the things I value the most and things that I think will be beneficial to me for the next 20, 30 years will be some of the other lessons.” – Arie Kouandjio
