Darius Charles is a professional football player for Wycombe Wanderers FC, but 18 months ago he was faced with a career-threatening injury and having his lifelong dreams taken away from him.

In this period Darius had to go on a long soul-searching mission to discover exactly who he was without the identity of being a footballer and what kind of human being he was. Through these learnings, Darius, is planning on becoming a life coach after his football career is over.

In this chat we discuss:

• facing up to and becoming comfortable with emotions

• the important role the people around you play

• learnings through adversity

and more
