Martin has a deep interest in Male Health and Wellbeing, keeping fit both physically and mentally keeps him going and ‘alive’.   Regarding top tennis players he says “They want to have all the right food, there is an increased focus on gyms, stretching areas, and a lot of them having ice baths after they play”.  Not everyone can have this but every man needs to look after their health and their wellbeing.  Through the Blue Ribbon Foundation we can bring back health and wellbeing to all men in showing them why they should take care of themselves with a good diet, keeping fit and being aware of their mental health.
