“Life for young players is changing at a rapid rate, but football is not doing enough to keep up”.
A long term investigation from @theipaper this summer highlighted how football is still way behind the curve when it comes to athlete well-being.

Emma Raducanu has made the final of the US Open at the age of just 18 - the first British woman to reach a major singles final in 44 years. A few weeks ago when she withdrew from Wimbledon, the media unfairly speculated whether she was mentally resilient enough to ever make it to the top. But she was joining a new generation of athletes showing that they know just how to take care of their well-being to get the best from themselves, leaving no place for outdated attitudes and stigmas. A powerful example of treating mental and physical health as one.

We were very touched to hear about a fundraiser for SMUK in memory of Jeremy Wisten which was organised by his close friends with Grace, Jeremy’s mother, cheering the runners over the finish line 💙
If you wish to donate in memory of Jeremy, please visit the link in our bio 🙏
Jeremy would have been able to access our support system and we’re still devastated we did not have the chance to help him but we will continue to work tirelessly to support as many young athletes with mental health issues as possible…

🚨 For any athletes in this waiting list please access our support system 🚨
It was revealed over the weekend that the official waiting list for NHS mental health care, which stands at 1.6 million people, includes 374,000 under-18s.
An estimated 8 million people in total in England with mental health problems cannot get specialist help because they are not considered sick enough to qualify.
Please share our services with anyone 16+ playing sport from representative level (university, county).
