Episode description
Rob talks to young up-and-coming player, Connor Taylor, about life from the perspective of one of football's most promising future stars.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Perseverance and dedication are two qualities that Connor was forced to learn quickly in his youth. Setbacks are magnified by youth. Resilience is formed swiftly.
- As a football player, even in the role of defender, you must have the skills to take chances when they come along. Training and development are vital.
- The best coaches are the ones who recognise the best positions for players based on their strengths. The best players are the ones who get on with it.
- Opportunities don't come all the time, but with self-belief, and faith from those who guide, we can make sure the chances are handed to us if we work hard.
