When you're training, it can be easy to focus on the physical side of sport: the conditioning, the test sets, or the stats and times.
But how often are you checking in on your teammates mental health? Coaches, how often are you checking in with your athletes? Are you helping your team create a safe and open space for mental health conversations?
We were glad to see that most people who responded to our poll felt that their teammates understood mental health issues at least sometimes - but over 15% of respondents felt that they were rarely (or never) receiving support and understanding.
This week, check in with a teammate you're close to. And we challenge you to check in with someone you might not talk to every day too.
