Summary

In this episode of the On a Mission podcast, Kevin joins me to talk about the way his mind works and why he believes most people are setting themselves up for failure.

Even at the top of your game, sport doesn’t last forever which is what has drawn Kev into so many varied fields in life and business, the power of visualisation and empathy when it comes to decision making, the impact of the sporting life upon the families we love, as well as what life is REALLY like behind the scenes at one of the world's biggest football clubs!

We talk mindset, discipline and even a public challenge that we invite YOU to come and join us in!!!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When it comes to the world of sport and athleticism, many professionals are opening their minds, more and more, to the possibilities of what comes next. Sporting careers don't last forever, and the wisest ones always plan ahead.
  • If you can truly transplant your mindset into the situations of others, then it opens up a world of empathic feeling, that allows you to better understand not just their positions, but how to solve the problems others face.
  • It isn't just your life that is given over when you're a professional sportsperson. Your family must also live a drastically different life. There's next to no normality.
  • Endeavour is hard at the outset, but the more we do it, the more it becomes habit. Soon, these habits form the person we are, and we are able to surmount great challenge without emotional attachment.

BEST MOMENTS

'I'm a very curious individual, so if there's anything that I like, I need to do it!'

'Being a footballer's wife is tough. It's not as easy as people think it might be'

'In football, at 33 you're considered old, which is weird because in business, at 33, you're still a baby'

'You know what you have to do. Your conscience tells you what to do, and you choose. You make that choice'
