Wales forward Hal Robson-Kanu joins Charlie Webster on My Sporting Mind to talk about how he’s shaped his mindset throughout his life and career.
In the season two finale, Robson-Kanu describes the pain he experienced with injuries during his early days in football, how he mentally got through those tough times - and how it inspired him to start his own Turmeric company.
He explains why football can ‘eat you up’ if you’re a deep thinker, and talks about the sport’s mismanagement of mental health issues. He also shares his fascinating approach to coping through really difficult moments in life.
Season 2 is proudly supported by Sportinglife.com, the home of expert analysis and insight for racing, football, golf and much more.
