From Pro Football to Holistic Health – The Zach Muscat Story
What happens when a professional footballer stops chasing only physical performance and starts focusing on what’s going on inside?

In this powerful episode of Rise / Recover / Repeat, we sit down with Zach Muscat, one of Malta’s most accomplished footballers, to explore how years of elite competition, injuries, and burnout led him to rethink everything he knew about training, recovery, and health.

Zach opens up about:

His rise through Maltese football and journey abroad

The mental and emotional toll of elite performance

Why being a free agent changed his perspective

How breathwork, nervous system tracking, and holistic coaching changed his life

Practical tools anyone can use to feel and perform better

Whether you're an athlete, coach, or someone looking to optimise your health, this conversation is full of actionable insights on how to build resilience from the inside out.
