Published on: 25th November, 2020

Please remember that no episode of the MyoMinds podcast can be used as a replacement for medical advice and/or care.

I spoke with David Cotterill, the ex-professional football player, mental health consultant, and a member of the Crystal Matrix team.

In this episode we delve into the experiences of David's life, growing up with huge pressures to excel in his sport. This led to serious mental health difficulties for David, which showed itself through self harm and drinking alcohol. During this conversation, David gives us the perspective of a professional athlete, what it is like to be judged by millions of people each week, and how he coped.
