Podcasts about dressing room

On 'One on One' this week, the Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta, takes us into his first dressing room as a 16-year-old at Barcelona and reveals how senior players, Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique, took him under their wing. He contrasts his experiences with those of his young footballers at Arsenal, with the likes of 15-year-old Max Dowman making the first team. Arteta talks to Joe about building a culture, explains the importance of role models and discusses what - he thinks - it takes to make it in the Premier League. As well as listening to us, you can watch our interviews on our Sky Sports YouTube channels, on Sky Sports News and on skysports.com.For all the latest football news, head to skysports.com/football. To get in touch with us, please email: skysportspodcasts@sky.uk

This week we're delighted to welcome Graeme Le Saux to the show. A Chelsea, Blackburn and England icon, Graeme played over 500 club games, 327 of them in the Premier League, as well as 36 caps for England. There was more than enough in here to just enjoy some unparalleled sporting nostalgia, from Blackburn's insane Premier League title to playing in the infamous David Beckham red card match at the 1998 World Cup. But you know that's not our style; what Graeme brings to this conversation is both a reflection on his experiences handling the turbulent world of a footballer alongside the more macro issues facing the game. He did have a different background, different interests, and unique way of approaching the celebrity that comes with football. Having been a record transfer for a defender when he moved to Chelsea for £5.5m in 1997, he also gets what it is to play with expectation and pressure that can humanise players we fans often treat as emotionless machines.It touches on many of the key points we always look to build on, from asset inflation and club overspending to the responsibility of player education. A special player with a special outlook on both football and life as a top level athlete…and as you'll no doubt lock onto he brought a big dose of humour to accompany it. Timestamps:00:00 Intro05:28 How the PL Has Changed Since Graeme Played09:25 The Reality of Changing Teams13:08 Is It the Club's Fault When Talent Leaves for Free?14:36 Are Players Now More Valuable Than Clubs?16:33 How Signing-On Fees Change Transfers24:22 Are Football Clubs Passion Projects or Investments?26:47 How Big Was Abramovich's Arrival in the Dressing Room?29:56 Thinking About Finances While Playing43:26 Why Many Players Struggle Financially After Football51:01 If I Could Change One Game54:43 The Added Pressure of Social Media on Players59:23 What It's Like Covering the Premier League in America01:00:39 The Future of MLS01:05:15 Quick-Fire RoundIn Today's Episode We Discuss:1. Life at the Start of the Premier League:What it was like to play before and after the birth of the Premier League.How TV money and sponsorship transformed football into the global powerhouse it is today.The pressure of record transfer fees and why Graeme struggled at first to justify being Britain's most expensive defender2. Transfers, Contracts & the Media:How moving clubs is about more than football, from dressing-room dynamics to family upheaval.The realities of modern contracts, signing-on fees, and bonuses.Why players today hold more power than ever, and what that means for clubs facing Bosman deals and free transfersHow social media has changed the scrutiny players face, both positively and negatively.3. Blackburn's Title & Chelsea's Rebirth:Inside the story of Blackburn's Premier League win and why money alone wasn't the reason for their success.What really happened in the final days before Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea and how one game against Liverpool effectively saved the club from administration.Why investment can change a club's fortunes but only if combined with identity, culture, and the right management.4. Education, Identity & Life After Football:Why Graeme refused to conform in the dressing room and why he's proud he stuck to his values even when it made life harder.The importance of education and broader interests for young players, and why football needs to do more to support life beyond the pitch.The shock of retirement, coping with irrelevance, and why building purpose and relationships off the field is essential.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show:Stryde Bringing sports investment opportunities to your door.

We went into this episode with the intentions of interviewing Natalie about her work as a therapist, her platform online where she shares mental health insight, her experiences as a new mother, her relationship with her parents & many other things but instead, we all had a therapy session.

Trying to get to the bottom of what caused the drama with the Bruins // They Said It: Zadorov walks back his comments about Swayman // Courtney explains the Brian Kolberger mystery //

Things are not rosie in the Bruins dressing room

Drafting for need. The Patriots have backed themselves into a corner. Jones gives Patriots 5% chance to sign Stef Diggs. Trade down discussion: who will spend the most on a trade up? Is Aiyuk in play? No. Is Tyler Warren a good pick? Jones would rather have Jeanty. Swayman tried to fight Kuemper, but the refs deprived us of the best thing ever. Twitch chat calls for Swayman to get his ass kicked. Swayman has been BRUTAL recently. Why did he want to fight? He wanted to fight for his brother, of course! That goes a long way. What did Zadorov say about this? NO COMMENT. Reading between the lines, he probably hates Swayman. The way the contract situation went down could be why there is a strife in the room. That is not supposed to happen. Teammates should be happy their guys get their money. Jersey bracket check in.

Kris and Tara talk about their different experiences with last week's Polar Vortex. Kris relates job stress and what she has to do to make sure others get the job done. Then it's on to the recommendations! Official Recommendations  From Kris: Severance (Apple TV+) This week, Kris officially recommends the critically acclaimed series Severance.  A technology is created that can separate the memories of going to work from the rest of someone's life. This means that when the people are outside of work (outies), they reap the benefits of working without having to remember it, while they only experience going to the office when they're at work (innies). Conflict and mystery ensue! Kris was delighted and surprised by the older queer rep in the show and, while acknowledging that it takes some time to get hooked, when it's in, it's in. From Kris: I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Conner Tara's official recommendation this week is the graphic novel, I Shall Never Fall in Love by Hari Conner, a queer, regency, friends-to-lovers romance. Tara loved the art and storytelling, as well as how the book explored gender expression and the history behind the period.  Works/People Discussed Smosh Reads Reddit Stories (Podcast) Wicked (2024) Gladiator 2 (2024) 1923 (Paramount+) Canada's Drag Race, season 5 (Crave) RuPaul's Drag Race, season 17 (MTV) Balatro (LocalThunk) Cozy Grove (Spry Fox) Murder in the Dressing Room by Holly Stars The Village (2004) Challengers (2024) Good One (2024) Support & follow the show Buy us a Ko-fi Sign up for our newsletter on Substack Facebook: @QueerlyRecommended Instagram: @queerlyrecommended Bluesky: @queerlyrec.bsky.social Threads: @queerlyrecommended Get all our links on Linktr.ee
