Gareth's leadership and mentorship helped the young players.

Having the right mentorship is important so the players don't get overwhelmed.

Whittaker praises Southgate for bringing in a psychologist for the team.

It's interesting to talk about mental health and masculinity in sports.

Players' bodies are insured, but their mental health is often neglected.
