On Episode Eight of the Beyond the Pitch Podcast, we were joined by George Sullivan and Natalie Busher.

George and Natalie are passionate Arsenal Women fans, actively involved with the Red and White, and each host their own women’s football podcasts.

In our conversation, they shared insights into how women’s football positively impacts mental health and fosters social connections. Both courageously spoke about their own mental health challenges and how the sport has transformed their lives.

George also offered valuable perspectives on his experience as a blind football fan, shedding light on accessibility in the women’s game.

At Beyond the Pitch, we aim to shine a light on the stories and areas that don’t get told in women’s football, to fight for what’s right.
