We're Ryan, Dan, and Ant, three 20 something lads, from Birkenhead, who love football. 24% of women and 13% of men in England are diagnosed with depression in their lifetime. But men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women. We wanted to know why. Join us every Monday and Friday as we speak to people from the wide world of football, all about Mental Health, in an attempt to learn more about it, and encourage men to feel more comfortable talking about their health and wellbeing, and attempt to remove the stigma that still surrounds the topic.

**Trigger warning, discussions about suicide and depression**
Episode 28
Learning to feel weak, and becoming the man of the house.
Jordan Broadbent is a UEFA A and Uefa B qualified coach, currently working for Barnsley in youth development. He has previously worked at Bradford City and Sheffield United, helping to develop talents that include current Everton number 9, Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
When Jordan was a teenager, he and his family suffered from a tragedy that by his own account, changed who he was and how he behaved. Over the next decade, Jordan found himself lacking in discipline as he struggled to fill the shoes left following his Dad's suicide.
Over the past few months, prompted by the restrictions imposed by Covid-19, Jordan has started to open up to his partner about the impact his father's death had and continues to have on him. We ask Jordan to explain in his own words, that difficult part of his life, and the subsequent years, in an emotional and heartwarming interview.
