Cronulla Sharks superstar Nicho Hynes has opened up about his mental anguish while growing up, and his new mission to give back and save lives.

Hynes endured a testing childhood, with his parents splitting when was a toddler - and then his stepfather lost his life in a truck accident when he fell asleep at the wheel.

With his mum in and out of jail, Nicho lived with his father Mick Wilson and brother Wade and at times his mental health suffered and he slipped into a depressive state.

'It was 2017 and I was a shell of myself,' Hynes told News Corp.

'I didn't know where I would ever be. I had no idea about life.'
