What happens when your childhood dream is cut short? Glenn Wilkinson was on the path to football stardom in Chelsea’s academy—until it all changed. In this episode, he shares how that experience shaped his mindset, leading him to a career in high-performance coaching, working with Larne FC as they made history in the European Conference League.

But that’s not all—Glenn also took on the CrossFit world, competing on the biggest stage and narrowly missing out on going to the CrossFit games. We dive into the mentality that drives elite athletes, the lessons he’s learned from setbacks, and how he helps others unlock their peak performance.
