Summary
Ever wondered about the mental demands of being an elite footballer in the burgeoning women's game? To round off this season of Upfront, we're exploring exactly that.
Flo sits down with Chloe and two of her Crystal Palace teammates, Shiv Wilson and Leigh Nicol, for a chat about the challenges of competing at the top of the FA Women's Championship and overseas. We also look into the changing influence of social media on the women's game and how discussions around body image need desperate attention.

| 0:49.6 | because on today's episode of Upfront we're doing things a little bit differently. We're going to |
| 0:54.4 | be focusing on mental health among professional athletes, because it's something we feel like |
| 0:59.2 | at Upfront isn't spoken about a lot. And we've also got an athlete as part of our regular trio |
