Mental Health and Wellbeing in football

Prioritising your own wellbeing is just as crucial as nurturing your child’s.

The “Inner Game” encompasses our mental state, inner health, coping mechanisms, perceptions, how we think and feel and brain functions. These internal aspects are equally, if not more, important than the physical facets of life.

In this section, discover resources to help you manage the demands of the commitment on this journey, maintain a sense of enjoyment, and practice essential self-care. When you’re thriving, your child will too.

Explore stories from our “Behind the Boots” podcast, where parents reflect on pressures and mindset shifts. Hear the expert’s insights on helping your child manage stress to keep football fun. Learn game-changing strategies to positively impact the whole family, regardless of football outcomes.

We know you’re doing a great job already, so we hope the resources below will provide even more insights and knowledge so that you can be the best No1Fan you can be.
