I have no idea what's happening, but I knew more than anything else.
Imagine being at the peak of your career, only to be brought down by something invisible. That’s what happened to Marcus Trescothick, one of England’s top cricketers. In this episode of 'Sporting Highs and Lows', Marcus opens up about his battle with mental health issues during critical moments in his career.
From his sudden departure from England’s tour in India to his return home from the Ashes tour in Australia, Marcus shares the emotional and psychological toll that stress-related illness took on him. Hosted by Luke Sutton and Priory addiction therapist Pamela Roberts, the discussion dives deep into the challenges faced by athletes when it comes to mental health and addiction.
Marcus doesn’t just recount his struggles; he also provides a candid look at how cricket and other sports are addressing the growing mental health crisis among professionals. He talks about the importance of seeking help, the role of medication, and the need for a supportive environment where athletes can speak freely about their mental health. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the often-hidden side of professional sports.
It’s not just about cricket; it’s about understanding the human behind the athlete.
