There has been increasing attention on mental health concerns among athletes, especially high-profile cases like Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka. As Singapore further develops its sports landscape, it is equally important that mental health infrastructure for athletes can improve in tandem. How can we achieve that?
Project Convalescence seeks to build an inclusive community for young, injured athletes through the sharing of personal stories and information on sports injuries. We interview athletes and medical professionals before publishing their stories on our website. We hope that our target audience, youth athletes, can derive some semblance of comfort by empathizing with previous athletes who have been through similar injuries as them. In order to gain outreach, we have also partnered with Sports SG and CHAT.
