Mental & Physical Health
A sound body equals a sound mind. If only it were that simple. A panel of experts addresses the mental and physical challenges of sport.
What should athletes and their support networks be doing to ensure the physical and mental health for the long term?

Allison brings a wealth of Safe Sport experience to the table and is arguably Canada's leading expert on the topic.
TOPIC #3
If I Knew Then What I Know Now
