Replying to @JoshFrost77
@JoshFrost77's latest work is really important for advancing how we support coaches in high performance sport. The findings highlight a key problem: The pressure and instability of elite sport was the most important, yet least feasible challenge to address doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-202…
πŸ†• Delighted to announce the publication of my first original PhD research article in the @BJSM_BMJ 🚨 The study is a first to explore barriers associated with mental health help-seeking among Olympic and Paralympic coaches. Read the full paper here: tinyurl.com/4r2jk42e

Highly recommend this development opportunity. Fortunate enough to collaborate with Pete and experience the programme with some Olympic and Paralympic coaches last year - a brilliant resource targeting an area which often is not given enough priority.

It was an absolute pleasure speaking to @DanAbrahams77 about the mental health of elite coaches last week. Given the need for further research in this space, elite coaches interested in advancing our understanding of coach mental health can find research opportunities below!
New episode of The Sport Psych Show! This week I speak with researcher Josh Frost @JoshFrost77 about a very relevant topic - the mental health of elite-level coaches and a paper he led exploring the subject. Listen to the episode here apple.co/439pnEU
