About this episode

In this special bonus episode in partnership with Get Into Teaching, Jake chats to Kit Brown, a primary school teacher and a semi-professional footballer. Kit has accumulated over 1 million social media followers sharing his passion for teaching and education. He shares the rewards of being a teacher and how the small wins make the hard work worthwhile.

Jake and Kit discuss the skills he has gained in football that he applies to his teaching, including how to build resilience in young people and how he brings a high performance mindset into the classroom. He shares with Jake the creative techniques he uses within the classroom, like rapping about the water-cycle or cutting up his tie to teach the kids about fractions. “Teaching is what you make it… make it creative”.
