Triathlon & Happiness | The Relationship Between Sport & Mental Health

Every day we are introduced to amazing athletes like Nathan Shearer with phenomenal achievements and success in their chosen sports. We fail to see their journey and what it really took.

We reached out to Nathan Shearer to learn about his journey with mental health challenges and explore how Nathan transcended these challenges to become a more resilient and successful triathlete today.

A recent report released by the Australian National University showed that 46.4% of athletes experience a mental health problem in their career in sports. Whilst the Australian Institute of Sport reinforced this finding by highlighting that athletes’ mental wellness and support systems are a must in professional sport and their findings found that one in five elite athletes experience mental health struggles in their journey.
