In this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Hugh Roberts II, a former 11-year professional soccer player whose journey extends far beyond the pitch.

Hugh opens up about what he’s truly made of—resilience, determination, and a mindset rooted in his personal motto: “Never panic, just adjust.” From growing up immersed in sport, navigating the highs and lows of elite competition, and choosing soccer over basketball, to understanding the mental edge required to sustain a long professional career, Hugh shares raw insights on discipline, confidence, and staying focused when distractions derail so many talented athletes.

He also reflects on the evolving landscape of U.S. soccer versus European development systems, the importance of youth training, and how culture shapes performance.

Now a new father, founder of Backyard Footy and the FootysGotYou Foundation, and a program associate with the U.S. Soccer Foundation, Hugh reveals how his mission has shifted toward service, mentorship, and giving back to the next generation.

This conversation is a masterclass in mindset, adaptability, and purpose—on and off the field.
