In the first episode of Ball & Live, hosted by former West Ham academy player Lamar Aaron, we’re breaking down one of the biggest myths in football: that being a flashy, technical baller is all you need to make it.

We dive into:

• The difference between a baller and a footballer
• Why some of the most skilled players never get signed
• How Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace) evolved his game to break through
• The mindset, discipline, and decisions that separate the dreamers from the professionals

If you're an academy player, an aspiring pro, or a parent trying to support your child’s journey, this episode is packed with real insight you won't hear anywhere else.

Follow the show, share it, and let’s build a community that’s ready to ball... and live.
