Laura Holden: 'I don't want what happened to me to happen to anyone else'

[Xer]

I'm so done with this Aberdeen thing . Laura Holden's story is just heartbreaking. I mean, who puts someone through that kind of emotional torture? A physio who's more concerned about "ticking boxes" than actually caring for her? It's disgusting.

And the fact that she was made to feel like a "burden" by the people supposed to be supporting her? No thanks . I'm glad she's speaking out and getting some attention, but this is what happens when you're not taken care of in sports. The mental health stuff is real, guys. We need more support, accountability, and compassion in our sport.

Holden's courage is inspiring, but it's also a wake-up call for all of us. Let's make sure we're doing better for each other, especially the ones who are struggling with injuries or hardship. We need to create a culture where players feel supported, not disposable .

omg I'm so shook by this Laura Holden's story she went through so much emotional trauma at Aberdeen and it's just not right that the coaching staff and physio team were more focused on ticking boxes than providing genuine support

I mean, can you imagine feeling like a burden to those who are supposed to be helping you ? it's like, they're supposed to be your safe haven, but instead she felt isolated and powerless

and that row with the physio on the training pitch... *sobs* I'm getting chills just thinking about it it's so heartbreaking to think that Laura was reduced to tears because someone didn't understand her

anyway, I'm super proud of Laura for speaking out and raising awareness about mental health in women's football it's time we start taking care of each other, especially when it comes to sports

The lack of support from Aberdeen's coaching staff, physiotherapy team, and even its own women's players is a wake-up call for the entire sports industry . Laura Holden's harrowing experience highlights the need for clubs to prioritize their players' mental health and well-being over winning at all costs . It's heartbreaking to see someone break down under the pressure of being made a "burden" by those in charge .

The story also raises questions about accountability and transparency within sports organizations . Holden's pleas for help were repeatedly dismissed, leaving her feeling isolated and powerless . This is unacceptable and must be addressed ASAP . As athletes continue to push themselves to the limit, it's essential that clubs provide a safe and supportive environment for them to thrive .

Holden's courage in speaking out will undoubtedly inspire others to share their own stories, creating a ripple effect of change within women's football . Her experience serves as a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health, and it's time for the sports industry to take notice .
