In this episode of Be Better Tribe, I sit down with longtime friend and former teammate Anton Peterlin to talk about his journey from college soccer at UC Santa Cruz and Cal Poly to signing with Everton, playing professionally in England, and eventually becoming a doctor and surgeon in Denmark. Anton shares lessons on work ethic, resilience, relationships, and what he learned from competing alongside world-class athletes.
Key Takeaways
Talent matters, but work ethic and mental resilience separate the best.
Surround yourself with people who support, challenge, and believe in you.
Small, consistent steps can lead to extraordinary opportunities.
Put yourself out there and build relationships around shared interests.
When things get difficult, lean on people you trust.
The conversation goes beyond soccer, exploring the habits that helped Anton transition from professional athlete to medicine: working hard, setting small goals, using time intentionally, and staying open to opportunities. He also highlights the importance of meaningful relationships, seeking different perspectives, and building a community you can rely on. At its core, this episode is about believing in yourself, doing the work, asking for help when needed, and continuing to move forward through difficult times.
