S02 Ep17: Brian McDermott

The manager. 

We&aposre proud to say that the guest starting us back up after our break is now a member of the B5 Consultancy team.

Making his debut for Arsenal aged 17, becoming Sweden’s player of the year at a young age, managing Reading to the Premier League – many would think that Brian’s career was the thing of dreams. But his career was racked by self doubt, anxiety and turning to alcohol as an outlet was the worst decision he made.

Now seven years without a drink and in the best mental health space he has ever been Brian is helping so many others through mentoring, advocacy and presenting to clubs, businesses and people across sport and beyond.
