It would be great to see Rishi Sunak bring back Johnny Mercer into his role of veteran support.

Jonny was a great asset and someone the veteran community really respects. I was dumbfounded when the last iteration of this government decided to scrap this…https://t.co/qeB2gcbTCv

In her words: we spoke to GBR bobsleigher @Nikki_bobsleigh about the realities of being a self-funded elite #athlete, her "dual identity" as a physio, and the importance of a back-up plan. Athletes, does this resonate with you?? Read all >> https://t.co/2EjETmXP5e

@TelegraphSport @ben_rumsby Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation: I’d rather see an athlete succeed *because of* someone not *despite* them. Tough love creates underlying self-esteem issues esp after retirement. How do you feel successful against unattainable goals set by someone else? https://t.co/bETFsME25H

[Dr Simon Le Clerc @SimonLeClercPSS]

Do successful elite athletes really need support? Yes! Sportspeople live in a bubble & when the bubble bursts overnight they struggle. It's ruthless. I believe athletes should have help to transition into life after sport. Blog> https://t.co/bETFsME25H #athletesupport #playercare

Any simple problem can be solved by a single, smart person. Linear problems require linear thinking. But the sports industry doesn't function in a linear space. There are millions of variables present at any one time, and (like a certain eastern 'leader'…https://t.co/r9SapDIUDV
