Join us for a fascinating conversation with Nathaniel Wells, a leading Brisbane sports psychologist, as we delve into the crucial role of connection, identity, and mental well-being in athletic performance.

We explore how athletes with ADHD and autism and neurodivergence can thrive in sport.

We look at the role of running in building strong connections, navigating identity challenges, and effectively dealing with injuries. Nathaniel shares his expert insights and practical tips for athletes, coaches, and supporters looking to unlock their full potential and foster a positive and supportive sporting environment.

We also hear about Nathaniel’s personal connection to endurance sports from Ultra Swimming to Iron Man stories… He’s got it all.

We discuss:

- The importance of connection and belonging for athletes.

- Understanding and supporting neurodivergent athletes (ADHD, Autism, etc.).

- Navigating identity challenges in sport.

- Effective strategies for dealing with injuries and setbacks.
