George Blackwood is our guest on episode 19 of The Pitch Podcast, joining Jarrod Walsh in a really deep, authentic and honest chat about life as a footballer.
The 24-year-old opened up about dealing with adversity from injuries to criticism, the pressure he placed on himself early in his career and a change in mindset which has provided a new perspective and made him happier and more comfortable with himself.
Blackwood discussed how enjoying life away from the pitch has in turn benefited his football and performances on the pitch. The maturity, courage and vulnerability he showed is testament to his incredible character.
He also talked about his experience in England with Oldham Athletic and playing under the legendary Harry Kewell.
