"Football is my safe space, a place for me to escape sometimes," Mead told British media on Saturday. "Probably watching me play football it's looked all fine and dandy as it has been going well. I've had difficulties off the pitch this year."I've used my football to get rid of the emotions that I've had off the pitch. I was frustrated at times last year and wanted to play better but it's easier said than done.
Mead and Germany's Alexandra Popp have scored six goals apiece at the Euros but the England forward tops the Golden Boot race thanks to registering four assists so far. "Last July I was at the point where I was a little bit disappointed with everything," Mead said. "I had a few good conversations with some England legends - Casey Stoney, Kelly Smith...
