Testimonials
``I wouldn't be where I am without the support my parents give me...They've fed me with belief and have spent the last 8 years driving me up and down the country to meets and training to help me turn my dreams into a reality! It's important they get support too so they know how important they are in our journeys and can continue to help us along the way, theathleteplace offers exactly that``.

“theathleteplace has been needed for a long time. If your mental health isn’t where you want it to be right now, that’s okay. But let’s talk, share, feel and manage our health. With theathleteplace, we can be better together”. (Photo by British Athletics)

``theathleteplace is such a refreshing and much-needed resource in the athlete world. Being an athlete can be so isolating at times, so to have the space where athletes can feel part of a wider community and express shared thoughts and feelings is so uplifting!``

``theathleteplace provides a safe space for sportspeople to find answers to the questions that they're sometimes too scared to ask.``
