In today’s fast-paced world, young men face unique pressures that can negatively impact their mental health. So, with the new football season upon us, it is the perfect moment to explore how the beautiful game can boost not only young men’s physical fitness, but also their mental health and well-being.
Having spent many a Saturday night in the pub with housemates who were avid football fans, I have been subject to numerous vivid recounts of the day’s football games. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and although I am a female with no previous interest in football, I became intrigued by the intangible effect that the game has on its fans. As my friends and I approached the end of our time at the University of Leeds, we were increasingly anxious about the start of adult life. This period between 18 and 25 years old is often a daunting and unstable time for many. Studying psychology and my final assignment looming, I decided to investigate whether the love of the beautiful game could positively impact the mental health and well-being of young men during this challenging phase.
To research this topic with my supervisor, Dr Mike Jestico, I conducted interviews with five young men aged 18 to 25 who identified as passionate football fans. What I found was compelling: football offers mental health benefits in four key areas—escape, connection, stability, and belonging.
