Footballers' Voice
The careers of Australia's professional footballers extend well beyond their performances on the pitch; their lives and experiences are varied, diverse and rich. Through Footballers' Voice, the players' individual and collective stories are explored with host Jake Barker-Daish, who delves into their lives as people first, footballers second. Footballers' Voice features discussion on player education, wellbeing, identity, mentality, sacrifices and what it takes to become a professional footballer.
