In support of one of our players Estelle Gray, please help her with her school project.
Hello everyone
This year for AIF a mandatory subject in schools, school students are required to come up with a topic to research and explore I have come up with the topic Mental Health in Teens in Sport.
If you don’t know me, I'm Estelle Gray, I play for the Boston's A1 side, I have been a part of our netball community ever since I was a very little girl. The first year I realised netball was such a big thing in my life, I let my feelings and emotions about the standard I umpired, played and presented myself while I was at netball was in under 13s. I started to feel self-conscious about my abilities, doubting myself and stressing myself out about such small things, like missing a goal in, some weeks not even wanting to play. I have learned that it is okay to feel those feelings but it is more important to try and fix those feelings so I can enjoy the sport I love the most with the amazing people around me.
So, this project is to help spread awareness about our mental health in sport, I am in the stage of researching and exploring, I would love to hear from everyone who has ever felt like you are doubting yourself, and your ability in any sport, and tell me how you have overcome these challenges. I hope everyone knows they are not alone and even people who you think and doing amazing might be feeling the same way as you!
I can’t wait to hear from you!!
