To @BritAthletics & @jackrbuckner ,
I write with a heavy heart following the tragic passing of Robbie, a dedicated athlete who represented Great Britain on 8 occasions as both a junior and senior. His passion for the sport and commitment to excellence were undeniable. As a close friend, I have been reflecting on the countless moments we shared—whether it was enduring long winter miles, traveling to Kenya for training, or simply enjoying cups of tea after a hard day’s work. Robbie’s love for athletics shaped his life and inspired many around him.
It is, however, deeply disheartening to see that British Athletics has yet to acknowledge Robbie’s passing. For someone who gave so much to the sport, this silence is concerning—especially during Mental Health Week, a time when mental health in sport should be at the forefront of discussions.
This oversight not only feels like a missed opportunity to honor Robbie but also raises concerns about the duty of care shown to athletes by coaches and the federation as a whole. Mental health is a vital part of an athlete’s well-being, yet this tragic loss seems to have passed without recognition or reflection from those who should be leading the charge on such issues. This lack of acknowledgment signals a broader issue within the system, where athletes’ mental and emotional needs often seem overlooked, both in life and, sadly, in death.
While a post won’t bring Robbie back, it could have been a moment to raise awareness of the mental health challenges athletes face and to remind others in the community that support is available. I sincerely hope British Athletics can reflect on this and take steps to improve how we support and care for the people who give so much to the sport.
Robbie deserves to be remembered, and the lessons from this tragedy should not be ignored.

The NCAA championships are over in track and field.
You or your teammates may be considering going Pro!
Exciting!
But...I've watched so many athletes mess it up, take less $, & be screwed over.
Here's the Inside Guide to Going Pro in Track:
@BenjaminHutto10@FabrizioRomano Who would be your choice then? Got to give it to someone who actually wants the job. Not someone who thinks they are bigger then the club (Naglesman / Conte / Mourinho). Slot didn’t want it.
@BenjaminHutto10@FabrizioRomano Yes although he won it in a year when Ajax were in turmoil and lost their manager. Let’s see, like many others have said, big name managers have failed at Spurs so it’s time for a new approach. Not saying Slot isn’t a good manager but winning a Dutch league doesn’t prove a lot.
BREAKING: @ElonMusk shut down this pro-censorship BBC reporter and left him scrambling on how to justify his own questions on misinformation and the supposed rise in hate speech.
Listen till the end.
