This week on the Sports Show it was all about mental health to coincide with mental health awareness week; Owen Hathway from Sport Wales came on to tell us of their latest mental health initiatives. Ryan Bath was on telling us of the rugby team he’s helped set up called Tough Talk RFC, its members all having experiences of mental health issues to share. Paul Tabram is familiar to Ospreys supporters as he’s the man on the mic at the Liberty home games. He’s embarked on a charity walk for Swansea Mind doing 5k a day for 26 days. His final day is Tuesday 26th. David Cotterill, former Welsh international footballer told us about his foundation & the online courses he’s running. Lee Trundle was on explaining how his role has evolved as an ambassador at the Swans & how important sport is in keeping both the body and mind active. And we spoke to Monika Bugelli, Director at Swansea Samaritans.
