  • Ep 4 - Philip Mitchell - Sports Chaplaincy Ireland
    Apr 30 2024

    Welcome to another episode of The Players Podcast, where we delve into the journeys and experiences of athletes from Northern Ireland, with former Linfield, Ipswich Town, Distillery, Portadown and Glentoran player Philip Mitchell.

    Philip had a stellar career winning numerous pieces of silverware down the years in Irish League football.

    In this episode, we explore the critical challenges he faces, his defining moments of adversity that forged his resilience, enhancing the value of perseverance in his identity both on and off the field.


    🌟 Sometimes, it's not about what we believe but how we support each other. We're reminded of the simple, powerful act of kindness and support. Like Philip Mitchell says, it's not about our faith background or whether we have one at all—it's about being there for each other, providing love, care, and an open ear. 💬

    In a world where both mental and spiritual health often carry stigmas, creating a space for open, judgement-free conversations is crucial. We're all complex beings—social, physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual.


    Philip's' story is wrapped in decisions dictated by personal loss and challenges, a testament to his resilience. We focus on how adversity is used as a stepping stone rather than a roadblock powering that determination, shaping his work ethic and approach to overcoming challenges. Join us as we unfold these inspiring stories through the lenses of athletes who have used adversity to pave their way to success.
