Summary
It’s the last in our EUROS special! Today we’re joined by footballer Daniel Sturridge.
Daniel started his career at Manchester City before signing for Chelsea in 2009, where he scored 24 before he was sold to Liverpool for £12m in 2013.
Daniel played and scored regularly in the 2013-14 season, when Liverpool came close to winning the Premier League title and he was part of the squad that won the Champions League in 2019.

| 0:00.0 | Hi there, welcome along to the final Euro 2020 episode of our special run to coincide with |
| 0:08.6 | what has actually been a brilliant football tournament hasn't it and as we all digest what |
| 0:12.8 | happened last night between England and Germany you're about to hear a conversation with |
| 0:16.8 | a young man who I know would have loved to have been there. In fact the way that his career |
| 0:21.2 | was going you would have expected him to be there but things just didn't go the way he, |
| 0:26.4 | or I thought they would today on this episode we hear from Daniel Sturridge. |
| 0:35.1 | Of course I want to succeed, of course I want to be the best version of myself, |
| 0:39.0 | of course I want to win trophies and do all those things but first and foremost be grateful |
| 0:45.4 | and soak up the blessings because a lot of the times I never lived in the moment of just feeling |
| 0:49.6 | like wow I achieved something. I can't wait for you to hear what Daniel has to say and can I |

| 1:30.0 | I wouldn't sit here and talk to you about it unless I believed in it and used it myself so |
| 1:35.0 | I would say that most wearable tech that talks to you about your health tells you what you've done. |
| 1:39.0 | The great thing about Woop is that it tells you what you need to do so it measures your sleep and |
| 1:43.1 | then decides how much exercise you need to do. It tells you in real time whether you've done |
| 1:47.7 | enough exercise for the day it also measures your heart rate variation to tell you whether you're |
