Mat Rogers is a dual code International Representative - having worn the green and gold for Australia in both rugby league and rugby union. He decided to follow in his father's footsteps as a professional football player and relished in the pressure that went along with it.
Although football has been a big part of his life, its not who he is.
As a man who has battled his own depression, he has also had more than one family member commit suicide. And as a dad to four kids, every day he deals with the challenges of raising his son Max who has been diagnosed with autism.
Mat and his wife Chloe feel very lucky that they were able to afford the therapy needed for their child. But many families cannot. So they started the 4ASDkids charity to assist those families to get the much needed support. This is now the driving factor behind what he does.
A tough bloke on the outside. A beautiful man on the inside. I sat down with Mat and had a very raw and revealing chat about depression, suicide and autism.
For someone to talk to about crisis support and suicide prevention please contact Lifeline....
