'We hold athletes to a higher standard with no patience for faltering. They are expected to walk it off. Rub dirt in it. To always arise phoenix-like regardless of the adversity.

Which is why so many athletes who suffer from mental health issues have had to hide their personal struggles from the public lest they are derided by fans and devalued by sponsors.'

Check out these amazing stills to help capture the journey of the #powerofthepedal as I roll out of Darwin, and then along the Stuart Highway.
I’m so thankful to the people of Northern Territory who have been really kind and have let me share the road.

The former NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner say

The former NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner says it's vital to reduce the stigma around men seeking mental health support.

NSW Australian of the Year, Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons, made the call during his Australia Day address in Sydney.

In the speech, Commissioner Fitzsimmons also reflected on the challenges of drought, bushfires and COVID-19.

He said a phone call from a colleague who had sought help but was reluctant to talk about it has stuck in his memory.

"We need to break the stigma and the onus is particularly on us men. We've got to do more, we must do better.

"There is no shame in having emotions, in being concerned and having anxiety."

A familiar sentiment from many athletes when facing retirement. What to do with it!

Some of the biggest challenges to transitioning to a life after sport are highlighted here by Victoria.

Having a career path to step into post competing makes a big difference in maintaining some structure to your life once the training lifestyle is gone and goals to excite and occupy you.

The Athlete Advantage will work with you to start refining your options while you are still competing so you have a plan and goals ready to go once you retire.

We are very happy that six years on, Crossing the Line is doing the job that was always intended.

When Covid-19 hit, we had a large influx of visitors to the website, more than 11,000 new users came to access our free resources and content, from all over the world. The postponement or cancellation of global events, such as the Olympics, really tested the mental health, career longevity and resilience of everyone involved.

The sporting community at large value the independence of organisations like ours. We are a free resource for all of the sporting community: athletes past and present, parents, coaches and administrators. We intend to build on our following during 2021.

We are excited about our new partnership with @aca_cycling; the continued work with @rupert.guinness in his pursuits to raise awareness of mental health; and we thank our founding partner Michael Drapac for his continued support.

The link between mental health and physical health is never more pronounced than in the life of sportspeople. They make a living out of their physical performances; their happiness and confidence are intrinsically tied to their successes.

“It’s great to have someone who spotlights issues and agendas, and it’s done in a very authentic way. I think it’s essential. I think Lando has been a breath of fresh air for the sport, and he’s enjoyable to watch.”

“I can feel it now on my body,” says Julia Görges. “It’s less tension, less pain because the mental stress which affects your body and affects your mind a lot, this has gone away.”
