Tackling mental health in sport

SPORTS

Helping clubs normalise mental illness and improve performance on and off the pitch.

The pressure to perform in sport is not to be taken lightly. While not as easily diagnosable as physical injuries, mental illness (including stress and anxiety) is commonplace among our athletes and more needs to be done to prevent it becoming overwhelming and all-consuming.

The conversation about mental health issues in sportspeople has been started. But with the right resources, sports organisations can do more to champion mental health and help players better manage their wellbeing.
