In this episode, we’re joined by Luke—a player I’ve coached since he was 12—for an honest conversation about navigating a tough season. Together, we reflect on the lessons hidden in struggle, the parts of the journey that never make the highlight reel, and what it means to grow when things don’t go as planned. One of the most powerful insights was the idea that soccer, like any passion, doesn’t have the capacity to love us back—and that being overly attached to something that can’t reciprocate can lead to a toxic dynamic. Luke opens up about shifting his mindset and stepping into the uncertainty of the future with a renewed perspective. This one is for any athlete (or human) learning how to stay grounded when outcomes are unclear.
