This year’s Athlete Panel brings together elite performers and practitioner-athletes to explore the realities of mental well-being, coping, and performance within high-level sport. The session offers a unique dual perspective, combining lived experience from elite competition with applied psychological insight.

Rather than focusing on theory alone, this panel highlights real-world challenges athletes face in managing pressure, maintaining well-being, and sustaining performance across demanding environments. The discussion will explore coping strategies, mental resilience, and the role of support systems in shaping athlete experience.

The session will conclude with an open Q&A, allowing attendees to engage directly with the panel and explore applied questions around mental well-being in sport.
