Players afraid to speak out on mental health due to impact on career – Sordell
Footballers are still afraid to speak out about mental health concerns because of the impact it could have on their careers, according to former England Under-21 striker Marvin Sordell.
The former Watford and Bolton player announced his retirement last summer at the age of 28, citing his own mental health problems as one of his reasons for quitting the game.
Football will do its part to get people talking about their mental health over the course of the Heads Up weekends coming up this month, while Thursday is designated as Time To Talk Day.
Since his retirement, Sordell has set up his own production company and has spent time interviewing current and former professionals about their experiences. In his view there is a long way to go before players feel comfortable opening up.
