Grief, Legacy, and Mentorship
In this deeply personal episode of The Longest Day Podcast, former footballer and coach Iffy Onuora reflects on the most significant day of his life — the passing of his mother, a pivotal moment that continues to shape his views on life, parenting, and mentorship. From the struggles of growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood to navigating grief and finding purpose in his career, Iffy shares how these experiences have influenced his approach to mentoring the next generation. The conversation also touches on the importance of resilience, social justice, and the challenges that still persist in society today, particularly regarding race and masculinity, emphasising the need for deeper, more mature conversations about racism and its pervasive impact. Ultimately, he stresses the importance of legacy, encouraging younger generations to carry the torch and continue the work of those who came before them.
