Cambridge United is pleased to shine a light on an exciting new project from former United Academy graduate Saleem Akanbi...
In partnership with BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, Saleem has launched Tales Of The Game — a platform exploring the often-overlooked realities of high performance, with a focus on what happens during the game, not just before or after.
Their first live event - The Hardest Tackle: Mental Health and the Realities of Football - comes to Cambridge on Wednesday 11 February (6pm) at Innovate Cambridge. Click here to register for the event.
Saleem will be joined by Cambridge United Director Dr Graham Daniels and first-team midfielder Dominic Ball, with support from the British Psychological Society (BPS).
Together, the panel will discuss player welfare, resilience, and the mental demands of the elite game — an important conversation for supporters, young players and the wider Cambridge community.
We’re proud to support one of our own — and we encourage you to be part of the conversation.
