A big shout out to everyone who has been involved in & helped us to create our Mental Health in Elite Sport report. Since 2014 we’ve seen attitudes towards mental health in elite sport change. More is needed to be done but great to reflect on what has been achieved! #SportMinds

It was great to be at #SportsPark to speak to people across sport courtesy of CIMSPA. So much enthusiasm for creating a more inclusive & accessible sector. And thanks to Activity Alliance for inviting me to speak at their NGB Briefing. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #SportMinds

For #WorldMentaHealthDay we launched a new campaign with ASICS Europe to redefine a personal best to focus on how it feels, rather than a time, stat or number! For me a personal best is feeling connected. Feeling connected to others or to nature. What’s your #NewPersonalBest?
