🎧 Available now on Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, Castbox & more

In Episode 25 of the Go Football Podcast, host Steve dives into one of the toughest but most important topics in grassroots football: dealing with rejection.

Whether you’re a player who didn’t make the squad, a parent watching your child get released, or a coach making tough decisions, rejection is something we all face in football.

From academy release to trial disappointment, being dropped from a Sunday League squad, or just not getting noticed — this episode explores what rejection really feels like, what it teaches us, and most importantly… what happens next.

🔍 In This Episode:

✅ Why rejection happens at all levels – JPL, grassroots, and academies

✅ The impact on young players’ mental health & motivation

✅ Stories of players who bounced back even stronger

✅ What coaches and parents should do when a player is let down

✅ Practical steps to move forward – development, mindset & second chances

✅ Your messages and stories from the grassroots community

🎤 We want to hear from YOU!
