Jake Raine: A Football Journey From England to America | The Sports Influence #10

In this episode of Sports Influence, we sit down with Jake Raine - a footballer whose journey started at Stoke, being scouted at just 6 years old, before taking his talents across the Atlantic to play in the U.S.

From earning a scholarship to private school, to working in London’s competitive recruitment scene, Jake shares how the lessons from football shaped his drive, discipline, and perspective on success.

He opens up about learning financial literacy through family (not the classroom), and the role supportive parents played in helping him chase opportunities on and off the pitch.

Whether you’re an aspiring athlete, navigating career transitions, or curious about what football can teach you about life, Jake’s story is full of insights worth tuning into.
