Karl Robinson, OUFC on Just About Coping
In 2010, Karl became the youngest manager in the Football League aged just 29. After ten years in the business and a growing reputation for developing talented young footballers, Karl has a vision for football to drive and support the mental health agenda across the country. In this fantastic podcast Simon Blake CEO MHFA England and Karl discussed:
• The pioneering approach Karl and Oxford United have taken to mental health and wellbeing including mental health first aid
• A message Karl received from a fan which he will remember for the rest of his life
• Why being his authentic self rather than 'playing the role' of a manager has made Karl better at this job
• The key difference between 'banter' and abuse, and how Karl manages his own mental health
And much more.
We really hope you enjoy this episode. Karl's passion to make a difference is clear to see and we wish him and the club all the best for their promotion push should the season get finished.
