We are committed to enriching wellbeing in high performance sport environments that empower and support individuals to optimise their potential and enhance their ability to thrive in sporting and non-sporting lives. We promote an ecological systems model for elite athlete mental health and wellbeing as represented in the below diagram.
Our focus is to ensure that we work system-wide in partnership with NSOs to strive for wellbeing in the same way we strive for podium success.
We believe that being on a high performance pathway should be a rewarding experience. We are focused on growing people and ensuring every individual is empowered to make choices and have their voice heard at every stage of their pathway. The guiding principles that are central to our Wellbeing Programme include transparency (matapihi), inclusion (kūaha) and continuous growth (papa).
We have grounded our narrative using Te Whare Tapa Whā, to articulate what wellbeing means to us, in our unique part of the world.
