That is why extraordinary individuals like @patrickfoster02 that share their story of vulnerability and overcoming adversities (such as a pathological gambling addiction and mental health struggles) to these young men has NEVER been more important.

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.

[Patrick Foster @patrickfoster02]

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.

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 💙

[Patrick Foster @patrickfoster02]

@pedropeters222 You and me both mate. Incredible isn’t it. Not talked about enough but my goodness it has changed so many people’s lives including mine. Genuinely amazing what they can do ❤️

[Patrick Foster @patrickfoster02]

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

[Patrick Foster @patrickfoster02]

@scottdavies1988 @sloughtownfc Well done ledge 💙 Great result and what are job you are doing. It’s no surprise the players want to give everything for you.

[Patrick Foster @patrickfoster02]

@Upp_Sport Thank you for having me. Amazing to see you put these sorts of things on for your scholars and hope they took something away from my talk and I had an impact on them. They listened brilliantly 👏

[Patrick Foster @patrickfoster02]

@robtaylor1989 Thanks for having me Rob and your kind words. Really enjoyed speaking to the pupils who listened brilliantly and had some great questions. Really nice to connect 👍

[Patrick Foster @patrickfoster02]

@scottdavies1988 Congratulations ledge. Thoroughly deserved and you just love to see it 💙💛

@patrickfoster02 @BloomsburySport @willis_macp @epicpgc @MintridgeFDN @PCA @CricketersTrust Half way through at the moment, can't put it down. It's like reading my own autobiography at regular intervals, only on a larger scale.

I relinquished control of my bank accounts amongst other things thanks to the unwavering support of my now fiance.

Admire your bravery.
