Last summer I found myself sitting in a room in Switzerland surrounded by world leaders from completely different industries, all talking about the future of our planet. A very different environment to what I was used to! I was invited onto to a channel to give my take on leadership with my best mate and brother Jay. We talked about leadership and what it meant to us both. I always used to think leaders were born but it’s far from the truth…. They are made. My biggest realisation was that we talk a lot about leadership like it’s confidence and certainty. Like leaders always know what to do. The truth is they don’t… and that’s ok. But good leaders will go seek out better answers and grow. While poor leaders will leave it to someone else to do or turn a blind eye. The day made me realise most of my growth has come from failing. I try to lead with my best intentions, but upon reflection or feedback, I realise there was a better way to do it and then next time…. I lead better and the process repeats! And that day forced me to look at myself properly. As for me, leadership isn’t a title, or being a CEO or having an armband. It’s influence. And that’s the scary part, because everyone has it. Even my two young kids. Every morning before school I tell them the same thing: Be the sunshine in the room ☀️ Because whether we like it or not, we’re leading every single day. In the changing room. At home. In how we speak. In how we react when things don’t go our way. We’re either having a positive impact or a negative one. And that choice sits with us. For the Full interview, hit the link👇

I Wouldn’t Have signed up to This When I Was Younger 🤯 If you would have offered me help with my mindset I would have told you that I didn’t need any help as my mindset was good. It’s only since I’ve got older that I’ve realised that it’s something that needs constant work. I’ve also noticed the difference between the players who work on it and the ones that don’t. It can be the difference between making it pro of fading away from the game. That’s why I created the Inner Game Academy. It’s to help all the younger players have access to experts, teaching and tools that I never had. And we want players to have an experience that has an impact. In March we created our first in person event at the Stadium of Light and now we’re creating our 2nd. BUT THIS TIME WE’RE ADDING TIME ON THE GRASS. This Sunday the 9th of June we’re linking up with PSA and giving you or your child the chance to have THEIR BEST SEASON EVER. 🌟 What to Expect: - Masterclass On How To Deal With Pressure with Rob Blackburne - Watch Coach Kieran ⚽️ Put Me through My Paces At Lunch So You Can See The Intensity That Pro’s Train At - Pre Season Fitness & Ball Work - Technical Ball Skills - Competition Where You Can Win A Pair Of Boots Or Sunderland Lounge Tickets 🏫 Where Is It?
