In this Life Stories episode, we sit down with Jeroen Peters to explore the realities of life inside football.
Jeroen reflects on the unique culture of the training ground — the laughter, banter, and camaraderie that every player loves — and why it’s often the environment outside that bubble that makes the game challenging.
💬 “I’ve never met someone who said the training ground isn’t their environment. Everyone enjoys that part — the jokes, the connection. What makes people struggle is the stuff around it, the things that take away from that joy.”
