I suspect this topic is going to be in the press over the next few weeks as a book about Robert Enke is about to be published (Friday) and it includes sections of his personal diary.

It's become a major topic within German football thanks to two admissions by footballing figures that they are suffering from mental health issues and the related stress/exhaustion.
At the start of this month, a second goalie from Hanover referred himself for seeking help.

Just before the weekend, Schalke's manager and student of the game Ralf Rangnick resigned due to feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

In light of this, I have just read an excellent amateur account of how the game of Football helps this particular fan release himself from his problems.

I just wanted to give some coverage to this problem which remains a taboo in footballers from this country.
