Tom Cleverley: Climbing The Ladder

This week Andrew talks with newly retired pro footballer & former Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley. Tom joined Manchester United when he was 12 years old — and went on to have a successful pro football career that spanned 15 years & included winning a Premier League title in 2013. In July, Tom announced his retirement due to injuries at just 33 years old and now he’s ready to climb the ladder again — this time as a coach. In this conversation, Tom shares powerful lessons he learned about leadership, teamwork, & success during his time at Manchester United and other elite football clubs. You’ll hear actionable ideas on how to grow outside your comfort zone, develop a winning mindset, & more. This episode is filled with career & life lessons everyone can apply.
