With an incredible 34 caps for England, building foundations for the era that’s got everyone certain that football is in fact coming home, homegrown hero Adam Lallana joins Ty Temel and Benjamin Banks Reynolds to share the sources of his inspiration, passion and perseverance.

Between his stint in the Premier League-winning Liverpool squad, influential performances at Southampton, and recent move to Brighton & Hove Albion, Adam gives kudos to his family’s unconditional support, and praises his fellow Red Devils and Jurgen Klopp’s mindset and management style.

Behind this winning mentality is a team who embrace the emotions that face footballers, particularly when faced with devastating physical injuries, demoralising defeats, and carving the right career path.

This episode covers:

• Lessons growing up around the older generation
• Opportunities afforded by his parents’ unconditional support 
• The Liverpool squad’s elite winning mentalities
• Dealing with the mental impact of major physical injuries
• Adam’s shift in priorities that influenced his transfer to Brighton
