About this episode

Following the passing of former England Football manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, Jake and Damian catch up to reflect on his life and the enduring legacy he left behind. In this episode, they explore Sven's journey as a football manager, his unique coaching style, and his influence on British sport.


Jake and Damian also highlight how Sven shaped the careers of football legends like David Beckham and Steven Gerrard. They chat with journalist Henry Winter, who had a long-standing relationship with Sven. Henry shares insights on what we can learn from Sven's approach to life and finding our version of High Performance, as well as how history might remember him.
