In this episode, we discuss the pressures footballers face to lose weight, achieve a low body fat percentage and eating disorders. Football isn’t always pretty. The photography we share is often one good pick out of what we perceive to be ten bad images. We’re told to be a certain body fat, lift a certain weight and eat a certain diet.

We discuss the pressures footballers face to lose weight, achieve a low body fat percentage and eating disorders. This is the one where we talk body image.
