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.

Care, Compassion, and coaching outside of your comfort zone.
Football coaching is a competitive business, especially for those who aren't former, or current footballers. For many prospective coaches, the first few years are awash with late nights, early mornings, expensive qualifications, and often, making a potentially risky decision.
For Marc Joyce, that decision came when an opportunity arose in The United States to coach full time, as part of the Lexington Soccer Academy. Marc left his home on the Wirral and a steady job, and pitched up 4000 miles away in South Carolina.
We talk to Marc about his first coaching role in grassroots football, the transition to life in America, his core beliefs for coaching, and the difference in transatlantic approaches to youth football (or Soccer).
