Having played academy football for around half of my life, I had some experiences, on and off the pitch, which many other young people only dream of. The Next Step is a podcast where I, George Murray, talk to a variety of guests in the world of football about their careers and love for the game, while also discussing what the future holds for them as I prepare for my own.

20. Jon De Souza: Pracademics, People Skills & The Chameleon Effect
Colchester United’s Director of Performance Jon De Souza joins me to talk all things Luton (where I first met him once he became a coach after playing in the youth team) and how he has adapted his coaching style over the past decade or so. He says that his experiences at Luton — where he played with a number of players who have gone on to play internationally and in the Premier League — taught him about the importance of values such as a strong work ethic and desire are to make it to the top.
Jon also shared how his five years and the exposure he got at Brentford opened his eyes to a more holistic approach regarding coaching, along with the importance of luck and opportunity and what the future may hold for him.
