Athlete Wellbeing Education provides foundational knowledge of athlete wellbeing and engagement in the Australian High-Performance Sport System.
This education aims to help athletes:
- better understand the Australian High Performance Sport System,
- better understand the importance of athlete wellbeing and engagement,
- learn, thrive and engage during their time as an athlete.
As athletes progress through the high-performance pathway in their sport, they will gain access to additional learning and development opportunities via the AIS, the National Institute Network and their Sport, to enhance wellbeing and support performance.
Gabriella Palm (Why AW&E is important)
Well-being is the key to my success. I really try and be well-rounded in everything that I do. That's why I really try and balance my well-being, my commitments with Elite Sport, as well as my engagement with activities outside of sport
This education is a joint initiative between the AIS Sport Wellbeing & Engagement Team and the Performance Pathways Team.
