Jude's story is in All Footballers Experience: Anxiety, a groundbreaking children's book that follows the journey of the protagonist, a young Man United fan whose love for football is being challenged by an unwelcome companion - the Worry Monster.

This antagonist, a manifestation of anxiety that children can visualise and understand, has been making Jude's favourite activities feel increasingly difficult. Even the simple joy of playing football in the park with friends has become daunting as the Worry Monster whispers doubts and fears into Jude's/Belle's mind.

However, upon meeting Man United stars like Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo, the story takes a hopeful turn. These real-life heroes step in to help Jude/Belle recognise the Worry Monster for what it truly is - a voice that can be challenged and quieted. Through their own experiences and insights, they teach practical techniques like box breathing, the Body Boss and the Traffic Light Method enabling Jude/Belle to learn about nerves and anxiety.

Together, they empower Jude to reclaim their joy and return to playing football with newfound resilience and self-belief.

Here’s the first two chapters outlining what Bruno Fernandes & Amad Diallo taught him.
