The Mental Game

Join honest conversations on football, pressure and mental wellbeing with players, professionals and inspiring guest speakers.
About this Event

Football is more than what happens on the pitch. The Mental Game is an engaging panel event bringing together footballers, mental health professionals and people with lived experience to explore the challenges that often go unseen.

Through honest conversations, inspiring stories and practical advice, we will discuss topics including pressure to perform, social media, confidence, identity and resilience.

Designed for young people aged 16 to 22, this event provides a safe space to learn, ask questions and connect with others who understand the demands of the game. Whether you play, coach or support football, you’ll leave with valuable insights, practical wellbeing tools and the confidence to look after your mental health both on and off the pitch.
