Mental health is a cause close to Jake’s heart. Early on in the season the groom opened up to his wife Beck about his own struggles and suicide attempt.
“During my AFL career, two years into my career, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety,” he said.
“Away from the game I was extremely broken, but when I was training and playing I had to put on this facade, to be a certain person.”
He went on to reveal: “As it failed, my phone started ringing, and I looked at the screen and it was my dad. Mum and Dad came in and picked me up and took me home, and so I had a second chance at life.” he said.
