Show Notes

To support Mental Health Awareness Week, this special episode of The Grassroots Football Coach features our hosts Mark 'Rivo' Rivers & Richard Brant discussing their own mental health experiences.

The theme of the week this year is anxiety. Anxiety is a normal emotion in us all, but sometimes it can get out of control and become a mental health problem. Together on this special episode of the pod, Rivo & Rich talk openly about their own experiences and discuss the impact anxiety can have on individuals.

Rivo & Rich are also joined by BBFA's Youth Network Health & Wellbeing Lead, George Andrews who provides a youth perspective on anxiety and additional pressures which can impact young people's lives.
