In this episode, I'm joined by Stockport County FC goalkeeper Ethan Ross who is currently on loan at National League side York City FC. Ethan began his career at Arsenal and following his released, was fast-tracked through West Brom's Academy where he was eventually afforded the oppotunity to train with the first team. Spells at Colchester and Lincoln followed, before a move to Stockport County on a three year deal saw him promoted with The Hatter's. We discuss:

• The importance of finding enjoyment in football
• How football requires you to develop from a boy to a man
• Finding confidence through evaluating the evidence of past games
• Training to train vs training to perform on a matchday
• Dealing with pre-match nerves and anxiety
• How to develop whilst not playing regularly
• Experiences training with Ben Foster
• Taking yourself out of your comfort zone to develop
• Dealing psychologically with injury and time away from the pitch

This is a great episode packed with insight from someone who has experienced football at many levels of the pyramid. If you want to add 1% to your mindset, this podcast could be your answer.
