What is The UNprofessional Footballer Podcast?
Contrary to common belief, football isn't always the lucrative industry that it is portrayed to be on TV and in the media. While kids grow up idolizing their favorite players and dream of one day becoming a professional footballer in hopes of living the millionnaire lifestyle they see on TV—many people don't realize what it actually entails to become a professional footballer and what life is actually like at the bottom of the football pyramid trying to reach the heights of success and chasing the 'big-money' contracts.
A lifestyle full of deception, cut-throat colleagues, external pressures, and often loneliness—being a professional footballer can often be a difficult work environment to ever feel stable in. This podcast explores the darker side of the football industry, interviewing real players and hearing the raw, uncut truths of the life of a footballer.
