We all have our own story to tell and you never know what is going on in someone's life #UnderTheSurface.
West Ham United's Michail Antonio is the latest guest on the Under the Surface podcast, hosted by Original Penguin and suicide prevention charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). The podcast brings people together from the world of sport and entertainment—uncovering their untold stories and challenging the stigma surrounding mental health.
Michail joined hosts Smithy (Sky Sports) and ex-footballer Marvin Sordell to share his story on rejection, resilience and the impact high-level football has had on his own mental health.
West Ham's all-time Premier League leading scorer discussed how difficulties during the start of his Premier League career led him to depression and he strongly considered walking away from the game. He goes on to discuss social media triggers and bouncing back from last season's semi-final disappointment.
