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.

No matter what situation you’re in, we can always decide how we feel, and how we are going to behave and respond.
Paul McVeigh grew up in Belfast in the late 1970's, early 1980's during the troubles. Passing by soldiers and tanks on his way to school was a regular occurrence. As a teenager, he then found himself at the academy of Tottenham Hotspur, and very quickly in the first team alongside Teddy Sherringham and Jurgen Klinsmann. Paul's professional career last just over 14 years, and saw him make over 300 club appearances, as well as 20 international appearances for Northern Ireland.
In later life he has qualified as a sports psychologist, and now works a keynote speaker. Paul is an avid learner, something he picked up from his Dad. That lust for knowledge taught him from an early age that he has the ability to control how he feels, and how he responds to any given situation. That is the focus of today's interview.
If you take anything from today's episode, it's that everyone should be aiming to be an active participant in deciding how you react to setbacks, and how your feelings impact your mental health.
