In today's episode, Ryan speaks to Sebastien Bassong, an ex-international football player,  who was born and raised in the rough streets of Paris but opted to play for the Cameroon National Team. He is currently a keynote speaker and a certified life and performance coach specializing in personal development. 


Sebastien, having gone through his football career caught up in the football world with the mindset of ‘there's plenty of room to transition later' is now leaving a profound mark on young footballers by providing them with what he didn't get during his time. He is a dynamic and detail-oriented coach elevating the game through empowering, inspiring, and motivating the younger generation of footballers. He is keen on helping them overcome life obstacles and unlock their full potential. 


Tune in to learn more about:

  • How playing football as an escape from home and the rough streets of Paris landed him in the best pre-academy in the world
  • Sebastien's experience in Claire Fontaine and how it shaped his sporting career
  • The thin line between aggression and passion and how he tamed it
  • The big role family and community played in spiking up his hunger for sport
  • Why PFA talks almost have no impact on younger footballers 
  • His life-changing insight on finding the mix between just studying and gaining knowledge 

…and so much more!
