For elite athletes, this is singularly the greatest issue. When you stop playing, you have no idea who you are, where you fit into society, what your future holds or how to conduct yourself. It's a tremendous pressure on elite athletes and that's why we're looking at it. In this first episode of a new series, Danno chats to former Premier League footballer Linvoy Primus. Having played more than 400 professional matches over a 17-year career, Linvoy shares some of the challenges he faced in making the transition to life after football and offers advice to elite athletes approaching retirement today. Listen in as Linvoy talks about Knowing it was time to retire (2mins) When it finally sunk in that he was an ex-footballer (7.20) The impact of a Bible verse given to him by a 15-year-old fan (14.20) The fears retiring athletes have (20.45) Trusting in God when you're outside your comfort zone (22.00) And much more…

Why should Christian athletes at the top level get stuck into church? That's the question we're tackling on the latest Christians in Sport Podcast. Having met a series of elite sportspeople over the course of the year, we now discuss another key issue that comes out of many of the interviews. The Bible tells us that followers of Jesus should prioritise meeting together (Hebrews 10 v 25), but that can be really hard for elite athletes who spend much of the season away from home and are often viewed as celebrities when they are there. Despite this, our panellists, former Olympic rower Debbie Flood and ex-Premier League footballer Linvoy Primus, found church to a vital encouragement as they looked to follow Jesus at the highest level of sport. In this podcast, they tell Danno why that was the case and the vital difference being part of supportive church families made to them. To get the ball rolling, we hear clips from previous interviews with Paralympic sprinter Niel Louw, ex-England women's hooker Ann O'Flynn and former West Bromwich Albion defender Darren Moore, which Debbie and Linvoy expand on. Listen to this fascinating podcast as the panel talk about: - The feeling of finally belonging somewhere (3mins 40secs) - Being cared for and supported by a church family and the wonder of normality (6.00) - The importance of good Bible teaching in applying faith to professional sport (8.30) - Prioritising meeting with other Christians (13.40) - Still going to church when your bad performance was shown on Match of the Day (16.45) - Being supported and prayed for while on training camps and away competing (21.30) - The importance of midweek fellowship groups (22.30) - Advice to church leaders if elite sportspeople join their church (23.40) - Why every follower of Jesus needs to be encouraged (26.00) - And much more…
