The player posted a video on his social network in which he talks about mental health and how treatment helps him with injuries
Arrascaeta, one of Flamengo’s most important names in recent years, published a post on his social networks talking about the importance of taking care of your mental health. Number 14 recalled that therapy was an ‘essential ally on and off the pitch’.
“Therapy has been a fundamental ally in my life, both on and off the pitch. In sport we are constantly under pressure and having this support has given me incredible benefits. For the match to happen, we have to feel good, not just physically, but also mentally. And this message is valid for all of us, athletes or not. Life brings with it pressures and challenges, and sharing our feelings can make a difference, not only for us, but also for those around us Let’s appreciate this connection and take care of our mental health,” he said.
The publication was accompanied by a video in which the player continues to talk about the treatment.
“I think that since I started going to therapy, I practically feel like I’ve started living again, or living more fully. My personality, my way of seeing things, waking up every day, being able to share moments with my wife, with my dog These moments are simple, but they are special,” he said.

Furthermore, the Uruguayan midfielder spoke after the video about how the treatment has changed his way of thinking about injuries, something very common in a player’s life.
“Even in the context of football. As I said, at the time of injuries, you know that if you give everything you have, injuries will become part of our daily lives, they can happen in training or in matches. It is important to know who is doing what needs to be done. So whatever happens, you’re already prepared to deal with it,” he said.
