In one of our most powerful and honest episodes yet, Kieron O’Connor opens up about his life in football, the reality of coaching kids, and the emotional battles he’s faced off the pitch.
⚽ From signing for Celtic to trials at Bolton Wanderers, Kieron shares never-before-heard stories from his early playing days and the heartbreaking moment he learned that a fellow young player had been murdered – just for playing for Celtic.
💬 He speaks with raw emotion about:
Mental health struggles after returning from England
The toxic culture of sideline parenting in youth football
Why we need to show young people more love, not pressure
How he found purpose again through coaching and helping others
🧠 This one’s about more than football. It’s about trauma, resilience, and the power of purpose. A must-listen for coaches, parents, and anyone who cares about the future of our game.
