'We hold athletes to a higher standard with no pat '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.'

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." 📷 @abcinsydney #anxiety #ausoftheyear #breakthestigma #mentalhealth #australiaday2020 #nswrfs
