Movember Ahead of the Game
Ahead of the Game brings teams together to have real conversations about mental fitness. In workshops with your team, you’ll explore how mental fitness helps you show up at your best in both footy and life.
It’s about learning practical ways to handle challenges and check in with your teammates. You’ll build confidence to talk about mental health, recognise when someone might be struggling and know where to get support if you or someone you know may need it.
AFL GOALS
This innovative series of 32 lessons, grounded in research from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, is created to improve students’ mental fitness. By incorporating notable TikTok influencers and AFL personalities, this program seeks to educate and motivate students, empowering them to build resilience and gain a deeper understanding of mental health and well-being.
Youth Advisory Group
In 2025, the AFL created the Youth Advisory Group (YAG) to give young players a real voice in shaping their footy experience. Made up of athletes from across the Talent League, the group shares ideas and feedback to help the AFL better connect with the next generation.
