Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

And there are tremendous pictures of it online to look and it's a beautifully kept cemetery and all these white headstones of all the fallen soldiers across the way over the years and centuries.

Hello Sport

I went there, I spent a couple of hours there and I walked past every single headstone in that thing to read it, just out of respect to the soldiers that sort of lost.

Hello Sport

And what I tell the footballers is that the thing that struck me the most was the age of these people who'd given themselves and given their life to war.

Hello Sport

They'd gone off to war with real guns, real bullets, real bombs and knowing that they could not have come home and these fellas didn't come home.

When I walked past the headstones and saw he was 18 years of age, 19 years of age, 20 years of age, 21 years of age, I'm sitting there talking to footballers who are feeling pressure and feeling stress and worrying about careers and worrying about money and worrying about contracts.

Hello Sport

And I'm saying, this was their life.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

Yeah, context.

Hello Sport

When they were your age, this was their life, right?

Hello Sport

You want to deal with real stress.

Hello Sport

You want to deal with real pressure.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

This was their life.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

Look at the life you have right at the moment, you know, and it's kind of like a reality check on them about what we actually do.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

We're playing a game.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

That's what we're playing.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

You can get well paid for it and that's lovely.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

It's only going to last for a certain amount of time and if you think you're dealing with pressure, you're not.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

You know, you need to understand what it is we're doing and...

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

and enjoy what we're doing.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

I'm not saying that there isn't pressure in sport.

Hello Sport
#868 - All Talk with Phil 'Gus' Gould

There is.
