RAHUL KP'S SECRET TO BEING A FOOTBALLER, WINNING ISL WITH KERALA BLASTERS & PLAYING IN THE WORLD CUP
Welcome back to the 14th episode of "this is not a podcast." In this episode, we chat with Rahul KP, a professional footballer playing for Kerala Blasters in the ISL and representing the Indian national team. In a very candid conversation with him, we discuss the sacrifices to becoming a pro footballer, the discipline needed when pursuing a career in sports, the future of football in India, accessibility to opportunities, and infrastructure in football as opposed to cricket. During his time off, he speaks about his need to disconnect from the world, i.e., cut off from social media and live "in the now". Being a motor-head, Rahul talks about his obsession with supercars and his dream car collection!

Everyone makes mistakes! But need to be more careful not to repeat it, whoever handles camera needs to be it serious not only focus but also movin camera as well.. Getting people like Rahul on your frame is a great thing and more people are gonna come...
Fahim's voice haunts 😶🌫️🕯️🔥
Sack the live editor...the camera facing Rahul and Aryan is blurry!😝

Sorry about the focus issue everyone, we are working on getting this sorted! It definitely gets better in the second half of this podcast. Rest assured, we will try to avoid these issues next time! For now, if you squint and watch it isn’t that bad (sorry in advance for this) 🫣

tbh i think me and rahul have similar mindset
focus bro focus
This is one of those episodes where the clowns actually brought in someone who is inspirational and has given out the most valuable info which also happens to be the need of the hour.
Interview Ashiq kuruniyan as well, you would be giving him a platform to improve and make Kerala a football powerhouse. Rahul is an absolute tank as well.
