"Through the production of over 1 million high quality sports balls, we have created 1,097 ethical jobs for adults from vulnerable job groups. 90% of our staff have never had a formal job before and over 36% are living with a disability..." ✍️ @NadeWard fcnotalone.com/ben-sadler-ali…

Anton Ferdinand fears it may take a football player's suicide for social media companies to act over online abuse and its effect on mental health.

🚨 NEW: Tottenham are recruiting a Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing Manager to work closely with academy players and ensure mental wellbeing is prioritised. This is the first time it has been done by the PL 'big six'. [@theipaper]

🆕 The @premierleague is back! League newbies @BrentfordFC host @Arsenal tonight in the campaign’s first match. 😍 Which means the return of @OfficialFPL - team names, friend rivalries and taking the -4! ✍️ @SaulDeeson reminds us why we love it so much. fcnotalone.com/living-the-fan…

"One of the greatest Olympians of all time, America’s Michael Phelps, attests to “falling into a state of depression” after every Olympics, including contemplating suicide after London 2012...." ✍️ @helloworledge fcnotalone.com/after-the-gold…

🗣 “Wright speaks with great reverence about Mr Pigden saying, “I know he loved me. I don’t know why he chose me. I’m glad that he did. Once he came in everything was better.” ✍️ @steveninjety writes about @IanWright0 and his important role model. fcnotalone.com/masculinity-ma…

🧠 @MindCharity have teamed up with @ChelseaFC, @SpursOfficial & @Arsenal to run a mini-tournament called the Mind Series. ⚽️ Proceeds go to the charity and has facilitated @cpulisic_10’s story to be told regarding his mental health. ✍️ @LloydCanfield fcnotalone.com/pulisic-speaks…

🗣“Elevating to greatest in the world, let alone all time, demands an incredible mindset fortified by self belief and desire. The prospect of losing eats away at the best, especially when being so used to being perched on top of the podium” -@TobyYates8 fcnotalone.com/simone-biles-w…

🙌 So much respect for @Simone_Biles and any athlete making this difficult decision. 🏅 Athletes at the top of the game want to win more than anyone, so these decisions will be immensely difficult to make. 🤝 We hope that mental health will be considered as serious as physical.

This chat about mental health with Chris Mears, @SamanthaQuek and @MrDanWalker is so moving ❤ bbc.in/3f6xRVl #bbcolympics #tokyo2020 twitter.com/BBCSport/statu…

“On a fundamental level, man management is about judging a player’s mentality and creating conditions which allow them to perform. ‘Make the player happy’ sounds simple as a concept, yet it rarely is in practice…” ✍🏻 @SaulDeeson fcnotalone.com/managing-the-m…

🗣 “It is truly devastating that in this country, seemingly the only line separating idolisation and racist abuse is success. When we win, they chant Raheem’s name for miles, when we lose he is abused.” ✍️ @LloydCanfield fcnotalone.com/colour-blind-i…
