Precision, Power & Youth @ Auckland FC - Episode 12

In this special edition of From The Plains to The Pitch, we sit down with three stars from Auckland FC for a rapid–fire series of interviews that dive into mindset, pressure, opportunity, and the future of football in Aotearoa. Featuring: 🔹 Cam Howieson - A remarkable story of resilience — from an eight–year break from professional football to becoming a key figure in Auckland’s midfield. We talk comeback mentality, rediscovering passion, and what drives him today. 🔹 Oli Sail - Current All White and one of New Zealand’s most recognisable goalkeepers. Oli opens up about the fight for the #1 shirt, life inside a new A-League setup, and the dream of representing his country on football’s biggest stage. 🔹 Jake Girdwood-Reich - One of the most exciting defenders midfielders in the league. We discuss reuniting with coach Steve Corica, adapting to life in New Zealand, pushing for Socceroos selection, and the evolution of the modern defender. Three players. Three journeys. One massive episode. Whether you’re an Auckland FC fan, a supporter of the All Whites, or just love hearing what shapes elite athletes — this is one you won’t want to miss.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
