Football is more than just a sport. The pitch reveals emotion in
the extreme: from the glory of goals, the rollercoaster of club
loyalty, through to the immense pressure of expectation, fear of
injury, and crushing defeat. Fans, players, managers, coaches and
even those new to the sport can't help but be swept up by the drama
of the beautiful game. But when players at the peak of their
physical fitness commit suicide, or poor mental health derails
careers, there can still be a stunned silence in the community, a
lack of connection. Dominic Stevenson, a writer, player, coach and
lifelong football obsessive, interviews a diverse cross-section of
characters in the football world to try to understand this lost
connection between the sport and the mind. This book contains
contributions from internationally renowned players such as Sam
Hutchinson, Chris Kirkland, Ella Masar, John Harkes and Iffy
Onoura. From voices at top clubs around the globe including
Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and DC United, to
the stories of smaller clubs and unsung heroes behind the scenes,
Dominic reveals personal battles both on and off the pitch,
touching on anxiety, depression, discrimination, trauma, identity
and recovery.
