SOCCOLOGY

INSIDE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF SUCCESSFUL PROFESSIONALS

‘Soccology’ is a book crafted to offer profound insights into the inner workings of a professional footballer.

Kevin wrote "Soccology: Inside the Hearts and Minds of Successful Professionals" because he discovered that everything he had been told before becoming a footballer turned out to be untrue. Recognizing the struggles of individuals within the football community to articulate their experiences, a challenge he himself faced, motivated him to create this encyclopedic-style book. Designed for easy reading, it deliberately covers a range of topics, including football intelligence, culture, leadership, mental health, and more.

Kevin's research for the book involved conducting over 100 hours of interviews with 45 professional footballers, 3 professional coaches, 1 psychophysicist, and 1 senior partner from KPMG.

Soccology is available for purchase at OWN IT!, Amazon, Foyles and Waterstones.

The Soccology Book launch, with a panel of Kevin George, Cyrus Christie (Fulham FC & Rep. Ireland international), Martyn Heather (Head of Ed. & Welfare, Premier League) and Akala.

NEW BOOK! SHADOW PLAY, OUT IN SPRING 2024

In the book ‘Shadow Play,’ Kevin George delves into the ways in which we conceal the darker parts of ourselves—individually, institutionally, and culturally as a nation—resulting in sacrifices to our mental health and performance. The remedy lies in embracing, befriending, and integrating the parts we've banished due to shame, pain, and judgment.

Using football as a thematic backdrop, he presents case studies featuring some of the greatest talents in the sport. Drawing on research studies from Stanford University, as well as his own, Kevin provides answers to the ongoing mental health conundrums in football.
