Sunderland captain Luke O'Nien has built his career on resilience, determination, and an unwavering belief that hard work can outlast natural talent.. He joins Jake and Damian to reflect on the setbacks that shaped him, from being overlooked early in his career to leading his club back to the Premier League.Luke explains why he no longer relies on confidence to perform, how embracing discomfort became his greatest strength, and the simple mindset shifts that help him stay present under pressure. He also shares the habits and systems that have enabled him to keep improving throughout his career.This is an insight into why great performance is built on systems, not feelings, and why resilience is forged long before the biggest moments.Away from the pitch, Luke runs Elite XI, a mental performance programme for professional footballers.

I sat down with pro footballer Erik McCue, who's played in Thailand, Sweden, and the U.S. — and asked him what actually separates European soccer from ours. His answer surprised me: in Sweden, his team runs 1-2 full video sessions a day, breaking down every training rep like game film. In the U.S., that happened maybe twice a week. We talk about what it's like installing a new tactical system with a new coaching staff, why raw athleticism gets you noticed here but barely matters there, and what he now tells young American players trying to make the jump overseas.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are finally reconnect after an incredible summer, catching up on everything from Pete's Club World Cup adventure in America to the excitement of another Premier League season just around the corner.Pete reflects on receiving his long-awaited England cap from Harry Kane, what it was like travelling across the United States, meeting LeBron James, and reveals his plans to take his family to watch Liverpool face Wrexham at the Yankee's Stadium before heading home.With pre-season now underway across football, the lads dive into what really happens when players report back for day one. From dreaded body fat tests and bleep tests to Tony Pulis' infamous training camps, army boot camps, endless bike rides and the stories every footballer has from surviving the toughest week of the year, they reveal why pre-season is both feared and respected inside the game.Chris also finds out that his long-awaited Paddy Power comedy forfeit is finally happening, while the boys discuss future podcast challenges, listener ideas for the new season, and somehow end up debating whether your back can actually be fit.As always, expect plenty of football stories, ridiculous tangents and laughs as the countdown to the new season officially begins.Chumbawamba- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 00:00 - Chris returns as the boys reunite after the summer02:10 - Looking back on the Club World Cup adventure03:31 - Pete's surreal experience working around England04:34 - Receiving his England cap from Harry Kane06:03 - The emotions of it all08:04 - The awkward reunion with an old childhood friend10:31 - Crouchy gets evicted from the yoga room mid-podcast12:08 - Recording from America and life on the road14:03 - Liverpool vs Wrexham at Yankee Stadium15:31 - Meeting LeBron James in Los Angeles?16:50 - New season housekeeping begins17:12 - Chris Stark's comedy forfeit is finally happening19:00 - Blossoms invite the podcast back on stage20:44 - Could Sids replace De Bruyne's famous passes?22:42 - The art of the perfect daisy-cutter23:52 - First day of pre-season nerves25:08 - Putting Chris through a real football fitness test26:14 - Fat tests, body fat and "back fitness"28:09 - Would Chris survive Championship pre-season?30:06 - Tony Pulis' brutal training camps explained32:10 - Why pre-season leaves players completely broken34:16 - The hardest training camps of Pete's career35:52 - The player who cheated pre-season... with a taxi38:08 - Bleep tests and why footballers never go full effort40:05 - The endless medical tests before every season41:05 - Big plans and listener ideas for the new season42:45 - Rating listeners' backs and wrapping up- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

#celticfc #celticsoul #podcastFollow Vicenç Clos Balcells on Instagram & Twitter @vclosbfutopinionsBarcelona based journalist Vicenç Clos Balcells joins More than 90 Minutes Editor to chat about the arrival of Kasper Høgh's to Celtic after his transfer from Bodø/Glimt.Vicenç has followed Høgh's development as a striker, he talks about the reasons why Celtic have decided to invest so heavily in him. He provides listeners with an in-depth understanding of his playing style, his strengths, and whether he has what it takes to succeed in Scottish football.He believes he is one of the most effective penalty-box strikers to emerge from Scandinavian football in recent years. While he is not a forward who dominates matches through his involvement in build-up play, he is exceptionally opportunistic in front of goal. His greatest strength is his instinct inside the penalty area, although he also possesses a strong ability to play with his back to goal and bring teammates into the game.They chat about his outstanding performances in European competitions. Høgh proved that he can deliver against top-level opposition, not only in the UEFA Champions League but especially in the UEFA Europa League, where he finished as the competition's top scorer. Those performances were a major factor in attracting interest from clubs across Europe and ultimately convincing Celtic to make such a significant financial investment.Vicenç talks about transfers into a broader context by analysing how players leaving Bodø/Glimt have performed elsewhere. Footballers such as Patrick Berg at Lens or Jens Petter Hauge during his spell at AC Milan, Eintracht Frankfurt and KAA Gent. They have experienced mixed fortunes after leaving Norway. He believes this is a particularly relevant angle given the sizeable fee Celtic have paid for Høgh, as it raises the question of whether he can become the exception and successfully replicate his Bodø/Glimt form at a bigger club.Please Subscribe to our independent Celtic Fan YouTube ChannelCeltic Fanzine TV / celticfanzinetv– Hit the Alarm so you never miss an episode, Leave a Commentand Please share.The Podcast is available on Audio across all platforms includingSpotify & Apple.

We've covered a lot of PRETENDers on this show. But the guy in this one might take the prize. Carlos Henrique Raposo, better known as Kaiser, fooled the entire professional soccer world in Brazil for 26 years. He signed with more than 30 clubs. He partied with George Michael. He got protected by Rio's most dangerous crime boss. He once punched a fan in the face rather than actually step on the field. And through all of it, he barely played a single real game. This week we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations: an interview with Louis Myles, director of the 2015 documentary "Kaiser! The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football." Myles and his team spent 18 months in Rio chasing down the truth, or something close to it, behind Brazil's greatest football legend who never actually played football. Watch the documentary: "Kaiser! The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football" (2015) is streaming on Amazon Prime. Also from Louis Myles: "Mighty Penguins," following the Brentford Penguins, a football team made up of players with Down syndrome, as they prepare to serve as guard of honour at a Premier League match. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023 and is currently on the festival circuit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Elite footballers are among the world's most finely tuned athletes. Every meal is carefully planned to fuel training, maximise recovery and prepare for the next match. But it wasn't always this way.In this episode of The Food Chain, Ruth Alexander explores how football's relationship with food has changed, from the days of steak and beef before a game to today's highly personalised nutrition plans.Sports historian Professor Matthew Taylor traces the evolution of football's food culture, explaining why clubs once left players to fend for themselves and how attitudes began to shift.Former Denmark international goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel reflects on how nutrition changed during his own career, and what modern players understand about food that previous generations didn't.Mona Nemmer, former Head of Nutrition at Liverpool FC and a nutritionist with the German national team, explains what elite footballers actually eat before, during and after matches, how meals are tailored to individual players, and why feeding a squad is about far more than calories alone.At major tournaments, those carefully designed nutrition plans have to work on the move. Giulio Caccamo, who was chef for the US Men's National Team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, takes us behind the scenes of feeding an international squad. From planning menus months in advance to serving players in hotels, training grounds and on flights, he reveals the logistical operation behind every meal, and why food can be as important for morale as it is for performance.From pre-match pasta to post-match burgers, from sports science to supply chains, this episode explores what it really takes to feed footballers at the highest level.(Photo: Erling Haaland looks up as eats a snack.

The 2026 Fifa Men's World Cup has the highest proportion ever of players representing countries they were not born in - almost a quarter of all the participating players. Several squads, including those from DR Congo, Morocco and Bosnia & Herzegovina, have a team made up mostly of foreign-born players. Of the 26 players who represented Curaçao, only one was born on the Caribbean island. Fernando Duarte, a reporter with the BBC World Service, explains why more World Cup footballers aren't playing for their birth nations. He also highlights how Morocco, the only African team ever to reach the semi-finals of a World Cup, has successfully recruited players from its diaspora. We also hear from football fans around the world about the foreign-born players representing Cape Verde, Curaçao, Morocco and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
