It turns out we're not the only ones who regret spending our days binge-watching TV shows.
Steven Gerrard is currently lining up a post-playing career as a coach, revealing that Liverpool are keen to find a place for him when his contract with LA Galaxy expires. The midfielder wishes that he had started his coaching badges sooner, though, instead of watching so much TV.
"I have regrets I didn't start my coaching badges at 21-22" Gerrard told The Telegraph.
"All that time wasted in hotels as an England player when I've been bored and was watching The Office and The Sopranos. I wish I'd done my CBA (coaching) licence then so I'd be doing my pro-licence now."
Gerrard also bemoaned more players not venturing into coaching.
"I know many players get to the end of their careers, get handed a thick C licence pack and say, 'Nah, I’m not doing that.'" said the former England captain.
"That's 70/80 caps and 600 career appearances and he is just going 'nah'. He could have had it done."Explore more on these topics:
