What happens when a Premier League striker swaps stadium roars for Sunday league sidelines? In this emotional and brutally honest episode, Charlie Austin returns to the pod to talk with Ben and Mike about his two-year journey coaching his son’s grassroots team.
From coaching kids with ADHD to navigating “dad vs coach” guilt, Charlie opens up on what it really taught him about football, parenting and himself.
He talks letting go, trial day nerves, dealing with pressure, grassroots politics and why watching his son sign for Swindon Town’s Academy might have been more intense than scoring at Wembley. Plus, the car-ride confessions every sideline parent will relate to.
