Canada rugby sevens members push for mental health literacy in sport
Being a professional athlete is physically demanding, but the constant pressure of being the best at the highest level can also be mentally taxing, with the latter still being overlooked.
As high-level performers, they’re also bound to go through injuries eventually and the impacts of those sometimes months-long recoveries on an athlete’s mental state can be worse than the physical toll, she said. For a long time, Hanratty said the norm in sports was athletes needed “mental toughness” to succeed. He hopes to shift to a system that fosters his athletes’ competitive thirst alongside and through mental wellness.
The coaching staff then turned to counsellors and mental health associations across Canada to learn more about how to ask if someone is okay, how to process that information and what to do with it. With his team Canada group, Hanratty now runs check-ins with players at the start and end of every week, along with having the team do a morning wellness exercise.
Jack Hanratty has initiated a number of mental health supports as head coach of Canada’s women’s rugby sevens team. The conversation around mental health in sports has recently hit the small screen as it’s a driving theme of the Emmy-winning comedy Ted Lasso.
