World ParaVolley Presents... Down but not out - the inside edge on mental health

Description

It goes without saying that mental health and well-being and mental performance are extremely important factors in the lives of parasport athletes. The ability and capacity to manage training and competition, success, expectation and disappointment, family and work, can take an enormous toll on any athlete.

Mental health in sport is not new, but it is now an issue that is discussed more openly than ever before, and that athletes are less shy to speak out about.

Join our “Down but not out – the inside edge on mental health” discussion and learn from our panelists as they share advice, best practices, personal stories and pathways.

I have competed in Para sport for over 20 years and had never made it to the Paralympic Games until Tokyo 2020. My journey, much like everyone else’s, was extremely challenging at times, and incredibly fun at others. One of my biggest challenges has been my mental health, and how without it, I don’t have anything. Let me share with you my journey and the tools and skills I learned along the way to help me continue to be my best. Elvira Stinissen (Speaker and Panelist ) Since 2001 Elvira played for the Dutch Women’s sitting volleyball team. She and her team have won medals at World Championships, European Championships and Paralympic Games.

Elvira was an athlete’s representative on the IPC Athletes Council and the World ParaVolley Athletes’ Commission. She works as a policy officer at the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, in the sports department. Her main goal is to contribute to an inclusive world of sport. During her sitting volleyball and work career, mental health has always been high on the agenda.
