EXCLUSIVE: Lioness star Bethany England, who competed during the 2023 Women's World Cup, has opened up about losing confidence on the pitch, hurtful crowds and how she winds down
Lioness football star Bethany England has opened up about the challenges within the game, from losing confidence on the pitch to hurtful crowds.
"We have the gym afterwards and meetings so it can be quite fatiguing, not just physically, but by the end of the day mentally, you think 'I'm definitely done now'." Talking further about mental health, Bethany said: "Mental health is a huge thing, not just in sport but in our society and I think we need to learn to be kinder to ourselves in certain situations and scenarios.
"That's when I think it can get really hurtful and nasty, and I'd like to think that we're not there yet fully in the women's game where we're quite lucky that we've got amazing fans, but in the future that probably will start to creep in and it will be a sad day when that comes." She continued: "I've also got my two dogs, I think I talk about my dogs in every interview, but they are very much my escape, no matter how good or bad my day has been.
