Footballco has teamed up with former footballer Adebayo “Bayo” Akinfenwa to launch a new podcast series, Beast Mode On. This exciting venture is set to captivate sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike, providing an in-depth look into the lives of footballers who have faced significant challenges throughout their careers.
The Beast Mode On podcast is hosted by none other than Bayo Akinfenwa himself. Known for his impressive career in football, Akinfenwa brings a unique perspective to the table as he interviews fellow players about their personal struggles and triumphs.
Xavi Sanchez, VP of content for Footballco, said:
“Beast Mode On is the perfect platform for Bayo. On the one hand, his larger-than-life personality makes him a charismatic host, but he’s able to pair this with an understanding of the mental challenges faced by players at all levels of the game.
The series kicks off with an intimate conversation with ex-Watford striker Troy Deeney. Deeney opens up about his troubled childhood, his complex relationship with his late father, and how he managed to navigate through these challenges while embarking on a 10-month prison sentence just as his career was taking off.
Upcoming episodes
Following the compelling start with Troy Deeney's story, the second episode will feature West Ham legend Michail Antonio. As the series progresses, listeners can expect more captivating stories from renowned figures in football who have overcome significant obstacles in their careers.
Beast Mode On is accessible through various podcast platforms for easy listening at your convenience. Additionally, it also has its own YouTube channel where you can tune into these inspiring conversations visually. Content from this engaging series will also be distributed through both Akinfenwa’s and Footballco’s social media channels - ensuring that fans won't miss out on any episodes.
Beast Mode On offers an insightful look into the lives of professional footballers beyond what we see on the pitch. It provides a platform for players to share their personal journeys of overcoming adversity - making it a must-listen for sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike. With Akinfenwa at the helm, listeners are in for an engaging and informative experience.
