Throughout his career, Jack has learned on capitalizing on what some football players think it’s a negative thing. 

From taking positively each loan move that he went, to changing his paying position for the team when the manager asks, to bouncing back from injuries and reaching his full potential once more. 

Jack says loan moves should always be taken as opportunities to play more and learn new things, even when you are dropping leagues. You just have to keep your focus and know where you want to get to. On fighting the injuries, he advises players to eat right, and get the right training to help with recovery and healing. It’s always challenging to come back from injury and keep consistency. However, if you put in more effort and just trust your manager to give you a chance, you can go back to the top-level if you play with confidence.

These are just some of the aspects that Jack Wilshere touches on in the episode. Tune in to get more insights on dealing with social media pressure, handling a situation where the manager doesn’t want you, and many more real-life issues facing football players.
