Show Notes

This week, we are joined by former professional footballer, now broadcaster and author Pat Nevin. Pat had a long and successful career on the pitch, but his hinterland is arguably richer.

He was a darting winger for Chelsea, Everton, Tranmere Rovers and Scotland, but also chairman of the Professional Footballers Association, player/CEO at Motherwell, an ardent anti-racism campaigner as well as lover of music and the arts. He has a deep understanding and appreciation for the psychology of sport, as you'll find out by listening!

Show notes:

  • The pure joy of playing football
  • Playing without nerves
  • Pat's perspective on embracing individuality and challenging norms
  • How to eliminate cheating
  • Personal growth, reflection and writing
  • The great managers who understood psychology best
