The Golden Ball - depth psychology & soccer
Podcast
The Golden Ball
When we watch soccer, something happens that has nothing to do with the game and everything to do with it.

What is this podcast
Discover how soccer and depth psychology can help you play the game of life in a more fulfilling way.Three depth psychologists, one of them a former World Cup soccer player, explore soccer as a metaphor for life.They discuss what the game reveals about how to win, how to lose, how to perform, and who we are. Each episode takes one theme from the game and follows it somewhere deeper.
