Episode Synopsis

In this unexpectedly brilliant reflection on football, flailing arms, and personal growth, Ben takes us from the drama of a Declan Rice free kick to the deeper tension between control and creativity. Why does the rise of the “set piece coach” irritate him so much? And what does that say about the hidden stories and triggers shaping his own actions — and maybe yours too?This episode is a lesson in self-awareness and balance. Learn why understanding your emotional triggers matters, how to spot when you're over-managing, and why sometimes the best move is to throw out the plan and just go for it. A playful yet powerful reminder that clarity and calm don’t always come from control — sometimes they come from letting go.
