Today I am joined by ex pro footballer and high performance coach specialist Drewe Broughton... AKA 'The Fear Coach'.

By the age of 20, Drewe had already made some considerable steps in his footballing career. Part of the England Under 20’s he was playing alongside the likes of Michael Owen and Rio Ferdinand, with a sponsorship from Adidas under his belt and a growing reputation. However, the intense pressure, soul searching and fear that crept into Drewe’s professional and personal life, lead to some turbulent years in his twenties.  

After a 17 year playing career and nearly 600 professional matches representing a host of clubs in the EFL, at 32 Drewe retired from football and found himself divorced, bankrupt, living out of his car and in the midst of an emotional breakdown. He took himself to a sporting rehab clinic and began his healing process towards self acceptance and understanding why his life panned out the way it did. 

 In this episode we discuss his turbulent twenties decade; talking all things football, the future, addiction, the difference between healthy and unhealthy fear, and uncover  what it is that we're all so afraid of...

Our favourite Millennial Minesweeper quote this week was:

'The more you complain about your circumstances and situation, the more you’ll stay stuck to them. - James Smith'
