How To Know When To Walk Away


Listen Later

Jake and Damian tackle the question nobody prepares you for: how do you actually know when it's time to walk away?


Whether it's a job, a career, a relationship, or a version of yourself you've been fighting to hold onto, leaving is one of the hardest decisions any of us will ever make. But across nearly 450 conversations on High Performance, one thing keeps coming up: the people who walk away well aren't the ones who had no choice. They're the ones who knew exactly what they were walking towards.


In this episode, Jake and Damian hear from:

  • Phil Jones on the training ground moment he knew his body had made the decision for him.
  • Joe Hart on what it really felt like when Pep Guardiola said he didn't fit the system.
  • Eddie Howe on why taking a full year out of management was the best thing he ever did, and why going straight back would have been a disaster.
  • Michail Antonio on turning down a top six club because the role felt wrong.
  • And Stuart Broad on the FaceTime call with his wife that helped him trust his gut on the biggest decision of his career.

If there's something in your life you're not sure whether to stay with or let go of, this one's for you.
