What We Do
Mental health requires a global view and from the entrepreneurial examination of development, we acknowledge our custodians of Australian land on which we founded this organisation. We had returned from overseas where we grew by examining focus groups in Australia, and employed comparative analysis across the globe. In examining overseas data we saw the picture clearly, effective of the increasing demographic of sports professionals. Athletes’ transitional phases, both during their career and between sport and everyday life, are among the most neglected in our society. When we speak about topics such as depression, anxiety, addictions, loss of identity and suicide, we rarely apply a sporting context to those discussions. All sports are reporting that the current approach to athlete mental health is insufficient, with many athletes emerging disillusioned and without a clear vision of their future. Leadership, mentoring, life skills, vocational career mapping and training, is readily available in other corporate and business environments, but typically the same training is absent for athletes until they reach elite levels.
Why We Are Needed
We support athletes at all levels by implementing principles and practices to both identify and prevent the many issues, pressures and expectations they face.
It is critical to give our sportspeople access to tools that encourage and reinforce ‘whole athlete development’, which underpins mental health and a positive, resilient identity outside of sport.
Our programs co-exist with what sporting organisations have in place, so we support them by providing the resources necessary to deliver life balance, identity education and mental health resilience. In short, we are the missing health care link between sport and daily life.
The programs are short, succinct, sustainable and deliver measurable results, helping athletes perform at their best and take charge of their future.
The Real Picture
In an online survey of elite Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) athletes, 46.4% were experiencing symptoms of at least one of the mental health problems assessed. Comparatively, 46.6 million athletes in the USA face the reality of managing a mental illness every day.
These conditions not only act as catalysts for a downward spiral of demoralisation, but also come with a social and fiscal cost with many athletes directed to government benefit schemes.
