Testimonials
``As someone who has struggled at various times with my own mental health, I congratulate theathleteplace in having the vision to establish this platform and I hope that in doing so it serves to strengthen resilience and wellbeing amongst those involved.`` (Photo by England Athletics)
``Athlete wellbeing is something that is often missed in the conversation about performance. theathleteplace fills that gap, somewhere for athletes to talk about their mental health and all the things big and small, serious and lighthearted that are so important, but so often committed.``
“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.``
