In this episode, I'm joined by non-league and former professional goalkeeper James Bransgrove. James was a young pro at Colchester United who took the brave decision to walk away from the professional game in pursuit of a career in finance and accounting. We discuss the importance of having a 'Plan B' and being proactive when it comes to planning your future as a young player. This episode is incredibly important for everyone involved in the game, as it highlights the benefits of forward thinking and planning for transition away from the game. There are countless examples of individuals who have not planned for life after football, which from time-to-time can result in adverse effects on Mental Health and Wellbeing. James exemplifies that when young players take the time to plan for their future, transitioning away from the game can be significantly easier and gives you a sense of purpose to achieve your goals moving forwards.
