How do we stop ourselves going from one extreme to another?

Over the last few months, we have seen footballers on social media sharing about their mental health; from Man City's Kyle Walker opening up on Twitter (now X), to Kevin Scott, as announced by Knotts County, of his struggles with mental health. On today's episode of Word on Wearside, Cam meets ex-professional footballer JJ O'Donnell, on the struggles players face in the game today; how did his physical injury affect his mental health? How much pressure does social media put on footballers' wellbeing? And how do clubs support their players who are battling mental health related challenges?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
