Professional Footballer Jay Bothroyd On The Pressures Of Fame
Jay Bothroyd is an ex-professional footballer with a glittering career that spanned across the 21st century, including stints for Coventry City, Wolverhampton, Cardiff City and QPR.
Jay talks to Steven about the pressures of fame and the effect upon your life when you live in the public eye, how mental health issues can affect your performance at the highest level, and how the world of football has changed for better and worse.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You gain far more respect, especially from your peers, when you deal with tribulation and setbacks in a more reserved manner.
- Many assume that professional footballers are happy just because they earn staggering amounts of money, but this isn't true. Most do it for the love of the game, which is why, if they're unhappy on the pitch, then it can prove devastating to their mental health.
- The world of football earning has changed dramatically. It used to be that you were paid well if you performed well. Nowadays, you're paid well if they believe you might perform well one day.
BEST MOMENTS
'Can you be that depressed if you're worth $500 million? Of course you can'
'Money can't buy you happiness'
'I'm a real product of my environment'

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
