We explored themes such as the integration of wellbeing strategies into your culture, the relationship between psychological, physical and social wellbeing in highly pressurised environments and the latest thinking in mental wellbeing best practices and interventions that can be used to drive people and organisational performance.<\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Key takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tokyo is the first Olympics where there will be 50% medals won by women; the EIS has a new focus on women\u2019s programme. In the past, women have been coached\/looked after like men.<\/li>\n<li>Having a functional interdisciplinary approach to wellbeing and mental health is paramount. This requires a genuine commitment and alignment from practitioners within the organisation to make these processes impactful.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019ve got a mental health problem, you\u2019re much more likely to get injured or ill. If you\u2019re injured or ill, you\u2019re much more likely to get a mental health problem. Prevention and early intervention are key, more effective, and more cost effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Thinking Points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Implementing good mental health practice is now an imperative for sporting organisations, many of whom will be directly addressing it for the first time. Evaluate what the key actions are and resources needed to develop and operationalise good practice.<\/li>\n<li>Having a functional interdisciplinary approach to wellbeing and mental health is paramount. This requires a genuine commitment and alignment from the practitioners within the organisation to make these processes impactful.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s important to consider that the process of monitoring and measuring needs to be customised. Our sports require unique skillsets to be able to perform, so there isn\u2019t necessarily a one size fits all approach. Ask yourself the question \u2018what is the outcome we seek\u2019 and work backwards from there.<\/li>\n<li>The elite sport environment is challenging, with regular highs and lows. How can we balance a perception in some circles, that efforts to create environments conducive to positive mental health, might compromise performance, or lead to over-diagnosis of mental health problems?<\/li>\n<li>Sporting organisations face growing expectation to support and promote staff and athlete mental health, whilst expertise in sport specific mental health is scarce and expensive. How can we as an industry ensure there is a pipeline of well-trained talent available to meet the expanding demand?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20081 size-full\" src=\"\/app\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Session-Illustration.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"988\" \/><\/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 on day two of the 2018 Leaders Sport Performance Summit at The Oval in London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2586,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[21,33],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-2585","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 -
