Description

In Boys Don't Cry, Girls Can't Throw, Martin Nash delves into how athletes influenced his mental health journey, how they are constantly challenging the media's portrayal of mental health, and the potential impact of this on future generations. Martin presents the experiences of renowned sports figures and mental health champions, including Tyson Fury, Ben Stokes and Naomi Osaka, and uncovers the often-concealed struggles behind the allure of professional sports, exposing the immense pressure and relentless scrutiny athletes confront. His book not only identifies these challenges, but also examines the strategies, coping mechanisms and support systems vital for thriving in the high-stakes world of elite sports. By weaving interviews with sports psychologists and mental health advocates through a personal narrative of the author's own mental health journey, he shows their experience is not only relevant to us all, but has unparalleled power to move the conversation around mental health forward. This book is a rallying cry for a better future, spearheaded by elite athletes.

Author Biography:

Born in 1984 in Wiltshire, England, Martin Nash studied politics and sociology at the University of East Anglia before moving to London. Despite lacking sporting prowess, Martin has worked in the sports world for much of his adult life, starting at Swindon Town Football Club in various roles, and for the past 15 years as a sports marketing researcher and strategist. Inspired by his own mental health journey and the lack of comprehensive books linking sports and mental health, Martin wrote Boys Don't Cry, Girls Can't Throw. He excels in transforming complex, data-heavy studies into accessible narratives and has been recognized for his work, winning the UK Sponsorship Awards in 2022.
