WBBL Bitesize | Sophie Devine: From depression and panic attacks to dominating world cricket

After seeing Sophie Devine score a massive 100 in a recent game of WBBL07 I initially wanted to play a clip where she talked about batting, her changes in technique, and how she has found a way to get through tough periods to make a big score. However, when watching her bat over the weekend, my favorite part was seeing her smile once reaching triple figures. It wasn't a massive celebration, but you could certainly see how content she was and it reminded me of how far she has come from having panic attacks and completely breaking down just at the thought of walking onto a cricket field. Rather than dive into her physical approach to the game, which is well worth listening to if you check out the full version of the podcast, I thought it would serve as a good reminder that if you are struggling, things can, and will get better. Be kind to yourself, lean on your support network, and know that you, like Sophie can turn things around to find joy again.
