Mental Health in sport and exercise- RIP Olivia Rose Podmore

It’s a sad coincidence that the scheduled timing of this post coincides with the sudden and tragic death of Olympian Liv Podmore this week. We knew and had a connection with Liv as our Velodrome ambassador.
The tragic event highlights a topic I have wanted to discuss for a long time – Mental Health in sport and exercise. Exercise and sport are supposed to be revitalising, energising, and empowering; however, if it is a defensive accommodation where we are using it to avoid negative emotions, it can become an act of self-harm. We see this manifesting itself, especially in these covid times in people running and riding crazy distances, far beyond the realms of body and mid benefit and into a dangerous and toxic place.
Check your intentions and keep it healthy.
We are honoured to have mental health professional Natalia Rachel join us to discuss this important topic.
