E178 - Jordan Henderson: Serve to lead - why being selfless matters

Jordan Henderson is the current captain of Liverpool FC and an England international. Under his captaincy, Liverpool have won six trophies including the Champions League and, their first Premier League title in thirty years.

In this episode Jordan shares how as an only child, the displacement of his parents divorce at the age of six, impacted his life. Although for Jordan, “football is everything” to him, when his dad was diagnosed with cancer his world was turned upside down, providing a shift in his perspective. 

Jake, Damian and Jordan discuss building culture, how Jordan deals with the impact of media scrutiny and how he has developed the sense of confidence he needs to back himself. Jordan hails the immediate impact that Jurgen Klopp had at Liverpool, what it has taught him and the why the Champions League win was such a defining moment for him.
