Dale who Helped get the feeling good project up and going in 2016 asked me if i wanted to come along and talk about the project and mental health.
In the morning i went along to the session i normally play, i enjoyed it, had time to change into some smart clothes before heading off to be on the radio with dale.
Even though i could not be seen i wanted to dress well as with anything if you dress good it shows a good impression, it also gives you that little extra confidence.
I did not know what to expect i also felt like i was going to mess up my words, and not get out what i wanted to say.
I was also thinking am i only going to get like 1 minute to talk.
I think overall i got at least 10 minutes which was awesome and i managed to talk not only about my journey, how depression is not just a mental state but a physical one, but also about how much Grantham Tennis Club have helped me, and about the feeling good project.
I am rubbish with names, and i should of done some research i know who the radio presenter was.
All i can tell you is he was very nice, he understood about mental health which was awesome as some people dont like that word but also dont like talking about mental health on the radio, news etc.
Its something a lot of us hear about but dont understand the different stages of our well being.
Or we listen but still choose to look down upon those who are just every bit as normal as the next person.
Dale said some really good points about the project, and it was good that Gravity FM allowed us on to talk about it.
Its amazing to see The club get some funding yet again for the project because as i explained on the radio and in other blog posts, the club and the staff are the best ive ever seen at a tennis club.
I am still shy to this day and often find talking to people a really big challenge but when your having fun, playing mini games, learning about tennis skills etc talking to each other becomes easier and you will soon find you make some amazing friends from it (:
It also gives the chance for people who cant yet afford a membership to play tennis the chance to learn, but overall its just about getting some good excise and having fun and as the project title suggests feeling good !!!!
I am going to be helping out in the next project which starts on the 26th April so come on down,
You wont know if you like it until you at least give it a go.
I am also in talks with the club about going on Radio Lincolnshire Next week, to further promote the club and the scheme.
Its odd because i also wanted to be on the radio, but for making videos, having a business etc, and since i have that on the sideline at the moment i did not think i would ever get the chance for my voice to be heard.
But its proving that although things may not have gone right to start with, i am fighting back, not letting my issues affect me to much and helping the community by lots of different ways.
Its true that if your helpful and show you care about something it will reward you back and because i love Grantham so much i want to keep helping businesses, help new business get out there, and maybe bring more to Grantham.
The experience was a brilliant one to have and it felt natural like i had been doing it for years !!!! hehe
