Show Notes
What does it really take to succeed at the highest level of sport, and what happens when your greatest opponent is your own mind?
Former professional footballer Paul Ifill joins Stand Up Again for a candid conversation about the pressures of elite sport, the mindset behind high performance, and the challenges that followed life on and off the pitch.
Paul opens up about overcoming a gambling addiction, navigating career-ending injury, battling self-doubt and learning to rebuild his identity beyond football.
With honesty, humour and hard-earned wisdom, Paul shares the lessons that transformed his life, from mastering his inner critic to embracing vulnerability.
This powerful episode explores resilience, mental wellbeing and the courage to confront the habits that hold us back, reminding us that our greatest victories often happen long after the final whistle.
