Blows my mind some of the things I see on here now when it comes to ‘gambling harm prevention’. I wish the focus was more about helping and protecting others. People are most concerned about defending/justifying their position to make sure they benefit financially ultimately.

To everyone who enjoys and loves Cheltenham - have a great week. To those (like me) who don’t, hang in there and do whatever it takes to protect yourself and get through it. It is impossible to shut it out completely and everything that comes with it but you have got this.

Just watched Unbreakable on @tntsports about players in the RWC 2003 winning team. So powerful and interesting. If anyone wants an insight into why mental health issues are so prevalent in sport then look no further. The power of talking is extraordinary 💙.

World Mental Health Day 💙.A hugely important day for raising awareness but with the theme focussing on the workplace it’s not just about today but it becoming a ‘way’ and it being engrained in culture. One conversation can really change a life as I know all too well x

In light of the news about one of my cricketing heroes this week, if you nothing else today please check in properly on a friend or family member. No one should feel alone and like they don’t want to be here. Please keep talking and realise vulnerability is strength 💪 x.

The number of people reaching out to me over the last few weeks who are struggling with addiction and mental health is both hugely alarming and upsetting but also weirdly reassuring in that people are doing the biggest and bravest thing in speaking up and reaching out 💙.
