From First Touch to First Team is a podcast for anyone who loves the game of football and dreams of playing it at the highest level. Each episode, we sit down with current or former professional footballers to hear the real story behind their journey, from their earliest memories of the game to the moment they made it. The highs, the setbacks, the sacrifices, and the lessons that shaped them as players and people. Whether you are a young player working toward your goals, a parent supporting your child's development, or a coach shaping the next generation, this podcast gives you an honest, unfiltered look at what the professional pathway really looks like.
