This morning our KS2 classes participated in a mental health workshop with Chris Lumsdon.

Chris spoke to the children about his journey within his football and all the barriers he faced.

He spoke about how he faced time on the bench and his emotions, the homesickness he faced when he was playing for Leeds and his mental health after a big loss during a game.

He spoke about how although he felt upset about missing goals etc, now footballers face extra pressure as they go home and are faced with negative comments on social media.
