Career transitions

It isn't just the pressure of training and performance that can create mental health challenges for elite athletes. There are also career challenges that can present difficulties.

A report by Mind mental health charity, reported that retiring from competitive sport can be a uniquely difficult time for many sporting professionals. At Well Athletic we utilise shared learning across high performance systems to see how we can support individuals navigating through transitions, be it in professional sport  or everyday life challenges.
