Ever wondered what it's like when your childhood dream doesn't pan out the way you hoped? In this episode of 'RAW CHATTER!', Vicky Midwood sits down with Luke Beastall, who shares his rollercoaster ride from aspiring footballer to successful coach. Luke opens up about the intense pressure he faced in professional football clubs, dealing with bullying, and the emotional toll of not fitting in. He also talks candidly about his struggles with body image, obsessive exercising, and binge eating.
Luke's story is not just about the highs and lows of chasing a dream. It's also about the importance of family support and the myths surrounding the glamorous life of footballers.
