As they delve into Jake's transformative journey from battling personal mental health challenges to spearheading a national charity, the conversation highlights the crucial role of mental health awareness in grassroots football and beyond.
Jake shares his personal experiences with mental health struggles, which culminated in a suicide attempt that became a turning point in his life.
