@CompetitiveWill Congratulations Kyle!

[Lisa Hoffart @lisahoffart]

Proud to be a member of the @gameplandematch team and to support athlete wellness.

[Lisa Hoffart @lisahoffart]

For Canadian national team athletes and coaches, you have free access to mental health support through @gameplandematch and @Morneau_Shepell. Mental health care can also be accessed through @ccmhs_ccsms. Be proactive and reach out for support.

[Lisa Hoffart @lisahoffart]

Great conversation yesterday with @gameplandematch @DrKMacNeill @kyleshew @NDurandBush on athlete mental health for an early kick off to #BellLetsTalk. Now let’s keep the conversation going today and every day. #MentalHealthMatters

[Lisa Hoffart @lisahoffart]

Looking forward to being part of this conversation #BellLetsTalk

[Lisa Hoffart @lisahoffart]

Holidays can increase stress and tend to emphasize food and eating. If you need support, @theNEDIC has phone, chat, and email resources available. Athletes can also reach out to @gameplandematch and @ccmhs_ccsms.

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

With COVID-19 wiping out any sense of certainty in 2020, unhealthy eating is on the rise among Canadian athletes.

There are lots of resources available, like the ones through @gameplandematch here https://t.co/Zn8AIdKZ4r…. Qualified professionals are also available to support athlete mental health. Morneau Shepell and @ccmhs_ccsms are great starting points if you need help.

“You have an actual injury to your brain. And that was like the flip of the switch for me. It made me feel like I could heal.” Powerful words from ⁦@AlexiPappas⁩ on the importance of treating mental health like physical health. https://t.co/HLfYXoKuqc

The get out of the house run
The lake loop run
The faster together run
The furry four legged partner run
The alone with my thoughts run
The with my favourite people run
The I can do hard things run

We know that the transition for athletes can be challenging and affect their mental health. Game Plan advisor @lisahoffart wrote a great article that speaks to the importance of managing the transition and the resources available through @gameplandematch: https://t.co/il5kKu46Pn

[SIRC @SIRCtweets]

When transitioning out of sport, athletes can experience a loss of identity - they may no longer feel certain in who they are, in their skills, and in what makes them happy. Learn more: https://t.co/atYrtGariN

Words from the ever wise Coach Kate @atrueworld

[Chris Chavez @ChrisChavez]

“This note is for you … and your heart, your mind, and your body. A note to help you reset."

My coach @atrueworld emailed this to our @BKLYNTrackClub team recently but it’s totally worth sharing with the masses because you never know who needs to hear this.

[Lisa Hoffart @lisahoffart]

To the athletes who have been affected by Canada’s decision against #Tokyo2020, know you have support and resources available. Reach out.

[Lisa Hoffart @lisahoffart]

Always a pleasure to talk mental health to coaches and athletes. Take care of yourself and support those around you #BellLetsTalk @CSCSaskatchewan @gameplandematch

“Are you on social media or are you using social media?” Thanks to @JohnJTokar for talking to @CSCSaskatchewan and @gameplandematch athletes about building their brand. #saskproud

[Lisa Hoffart @lisahoffart]

You have a physical injury or illness, and you get it treated. Same goes for mental health. Thanks to @RobinLehner for speaking so openly.

[New York Islanders @NYIslanders]

“I’ve had bad days this season, but I know how to handle it now. For people out there who don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, you have to get the right help. That’s what’s good about this. It shows it can be done with the right help and the right people.” @RobinLehner

[Lisa Hoffart @lisahoffart]

@sask_coach The Sport Med and Science Council is now offering a presentation on sleep and sport performance. A great way to improve knowledge and contribute to performance.

[Sasha Teninty @sashateninty]

Can't get enough of this piece by @laurenfleshman on sandbagging and how giving yourself permission to move away from past versions of yourself can free you from being held back by expectations. I wish I had enough characters to quote the whole damn thing.
