Also on the agenda was mental health strategies, their relationship with performance improvement and support protocols whilst operating within the high performance environment and post-career.<\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There was social and political will around developing an athlete wellbeing &amp; engagement infrastructure at the Australian Institute of Sport [AIS] when it became clear that some people were worse off for being in the nation\u2019s high performance system. Clements reports directly to the AIS executive and has advocates in key positions. Athlete wellbeing &amp; engagement needed to have a seat at the decision-making table.<\/li>\n<li>One of the fundamental problems was the undue focus on post-career support, whereas provisions needed to be more thorough for current athletes. With this in mind, Clements has been able to oversee the development of a content curriculum to disseminate across the AIS\u2019 national governing bodies, who may not have the time and resources to fund and develop their own. The thrust of athlete wellbeing is to sharpen each athlete\u2019s focus on their potential, to help them cope with the stresses of life, and to enable them to feel productive and content in their lives. In terms of athlete engagement, the focus is on enabling athletes to meaningfully contribute to their community, encourage them to seek to learn and gain life experiences, all while connecting with others socially and professionally.<\/li>\n<li>De-stigmatising wellbeing in both elite sport and in Australian society is proving essential, with both data and \u2013 crucially \u2013 current athletes used to tell stories of wellbeing and their personal struggles with a view to educating and creating a greater understanding of matters around mental health and wellbeing.<\/li>\n<li>AIS\u2019 nascent culture of athlete wellbeing &amp; engagement is tied to funding, with national governing bodies required to meet standards around duty of care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final Summit Session of the inaugural Leaders Meet: Wellbeing at City Football Academy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2532,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[21,33],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-2531","vlog","type-vlog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-human-performance","category-summit-session"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
