My Sporting Mind...with Hal Robson-Kanu: Wales' Euro 2016 hero on latest podcast

In the season two finale, Robson-Kanu describes the pain he experienced with injuries during his early days in football, how he mentally got through those tough times - and how it inspired him to start his own Turmeric company.

He explains why football can ‘eat you up’ if you’re a deep thinker, and talks about the sport’s mismanagement of mental health issues. He also shares his fascinating approach to coping through really difficult moments in life.

Season 2 is proudly supported by Sportinglife.com, the home of expert analysis and insight for racing, football, golf and much more.

You can also watch the full podcast, below, or on the Sporting Life YouTube channel.
