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

I'm literally shaking just reading about Laura Holden's horrific experience with neglect and lack of support from her club & coaching staff 
. As someone who's passionate about wellness & mental health, it's heartbreaking to think that many female footballers might be going through similar struggles without getting the help they need 
.We need to create a safer & more supportive environment for these athletes, with access to quality medical care, mental health resources, and a culture of empathy & understanding
. It's time for clubs & governing bodies to listen to players like Laura Holden and take concrete actions to address the issues that affect their well-being 
.We can't keep sweeping these problems under the rug or making excuses for why they're not being addressed
. We need to be bold, we need to be proactive, and we need to put the needs of our female footballers above everything else 
!I'm so frustrated with how the football community is handling female players' mental health issues 
. Laura Holden's story is just heartbreaking - she was neglected by her team and had to pay for surgery herself! It's unacceptable that more clubs aren't prioritizing their players' well-being, especially when it comes to mental health.
I mean, think about it... female footballers are already facing so many challenges on the pitch, from physical injuries to sexism and bias. Do they really need to go through this emotional trauma too? It's time for clubs and governing bodies to take responsibility and provide better support systems in place.
And can we please talk about how outdated the NHS waiting list is?!
Holden's experience with that is just ridiculous. Why should players have to pay for their own surgeries? That's not fair, especially when they're already risking life and limb on the pitch.
We need more stories like Laura Holden's out there, sharing her experiences and warning others about these issues. We can't keep ignoring this problem until someone else speaks up
. Let's get serious about supporting our female footballers!

I'm so worried about our girls playing football now . Laura Holden's story just broke my heart . She was neglected by the club and coaching staff after injuring herself, left to deal with mental health issues on her own 
. And can you believe she had to pay for her own surgery? That's just cruel 
. The NHS waiting list thing is crazy too... delayed recovery and all that. I wish clubs would prioritize the well-being of their female players over profits . We need better support systems in place, like proper rehab facilities, mental health resources, and more investment in women's football . It's time we take care of our girls and make sure they can play the sport they love without breaking or losing themselves in the process 
.this is just so messed up i mean, how can a club not provide support to one of their own? it's like they're just looking out for the men's team only 
and meanwhile holden is left to deal with her own injuries and mental health issues on her own. and the NHS waiting list thing? that's just ridiculous 
she paid for her own surgery, like what even is that? it's not fair to her or to other players who might be going through something similar. we need better support systems in place for female footballers, stat
