Conor Barrett's life was never allowed to stray too far away from football! He was born in London to a family of QPR fans, with him choosing to support their London rivals - Chelsea. He then went on to play at the school as well as university level in the UK. There were times when he wanted to quit football altogether, times where he walked away from the sport and started focussing more on a career in finance. But football and the world of sport kept knocking, and he's back on his sporting journey, recently completely a masters in sports management at Loughborough University! And even after that, he couldn't help but keep feeding his love for the game, going on to start a non-league football team - Mill Lane AFC!!

Catch this week's episode of All About Sports, where we speak with Conor about his love for the game of football!! We delve into the many highs and lows of playing at the immensely competitive school and university levels in the UK. He talks about the times he considered moving away from football and sports, and what drew him back from the frustrations he faced and from pursuing a career more skewed towards finance. He also discusses the process of setting up a non-league football team in the UK, his aspirations for the team, and why playing football at a competitive level, even now, has been crucial for his overall physical and mental wellbeing.

Stick around for the super fun rapid fire at the end!!
