We're kicking off season two of the Head In The Game Podcast with a really powerful conversation with former Derby County, Motherwell, Luton Town, Southport and Newport County player Mark O'Brien.
At aged 16, Mark was diagnosed with a rare heart problem just months after making his professional debut at Derby County. Despite being told his chances to continue as a professional were limited, Mark continued to carve out a career, including captaining Newport County in Wembley. In June 2020, Mark had to have a second open heart surgery which ended his career at the age of 27.
This is an inspiring and honest conversation with Mark who talks about overcoming the odds. He also speaks candidly about the aftermath of retirement and how the support of those around him helped him through tough times.
This is a truly fantastic listen and we hope those listening can take something from Mark's story!
