Summary

From child football prodigy to attempting suicide. Meet Matty Turner, the former professional footballer who was on the verge of making his debut for Nottingham Forest aged 16, fast forward a few years and his career was cut short through injury and he was now living with a cocaine and alcohol addiction. Not long after he secured a role in a top pharmaceuticals firm and was named salesman of the year, to now being a mentor to many elite athletes. It’s easy to see that Matty is now flourishing within his chosen field, but the path to success was definitely not a smooth one. Listen to his inspirational story about his football career and how he transitioned away from sport to embark on another career path. I believe anyone can take something from this, whether you’re a current or former athlete, a parent to an aspiring athlete or someone working outside of sport. Available on most major platforms.
