  • Resumen

  • Trigger warning: This episode features experiences of depression and suicidal thoughts.


    Troy Townsend speaks to Premier League players; Arsenal's Ben White, Scotland captain Andy Robertson and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze about their experiences of rejection through their journey in the academy system. We hear the stories of those who have had negative experiences at football academies, like Jordan Eli, Ashley Thompson and Kieran Bywater, who after being released from their respective football academies, felt devastated, desperate and disappointed.


    Their experience is typical of thousands of teenage boys and girls who are no longer considered good enough to play for that club and make it at the top tier of football. We also hear from parents and former players Jamie Carragher and Trevor Sinclair, plus coaches and partners at the football academies, debating what will ensure improved holistic care of the young players and their football academy experiences.
