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.

After his father’s impressive record in football, topped up with his uncles being professional footballers, Andre was expected to follow his father’s footsteps from a young age. Andre’s father (Abedi Pele) had already set a “hard-to-break” African record as 3x African Footballer of the year. Even at a very young age and performing well in football, the media used to refer to him as “the son of Abedi Pele.” It was hard for him to make a name for himself.  How could young Andre fulfil people’s expectations? 

Keeping his focus and aiming at the goal, Andre says he had to accept pressure very early in his life. 

“You can’t change the fact that there will be pressure. The pressure is there, but how do you deal with it?”
