About this listen
At 17, James Roffey's dream of becoming a professional footballer was shattered overnight. What followed was a devastating loss of identity, anorexia, bulimia, and a near-death hospitalisation where his parents were asked to sign a do-not-resuscitate order.
But this is not a story about defeat.
It’s a story about rebuilding, from rock bottom to becoming a high-performance and mindset coach helping other men master resilience, discipline and purpose.
In this raw and powerful conversation, James opens up about:
Losing everything he thought defined him
The eating disorder that nearly cost him his life
Masculinity, failure and the pressure on young men today
Infertility, heartbreak and starting again
Why resilience isn’t about “manning up” — it’s about doing the work
This episode is about identity, adversity, and the truth that sometimes your greatest setbacks become the foundation of your greatest strength.
If you’ve ever faced rejection, loss, or felt like you’ve lost your way this conversation is for you.
