Mental Fitness

Feeling mentally fit means feeling good emotionally, functioning well socially and having a sense of meaning and purpose in life. Mental fitness helps us cope with stress and life challenges. Mental fitness is something we can build, maintain and grow for ourselves and our team. Mental fitness can positively impact life on and off the field.

Keeping Mentally Fit

Keeping mentally fit requires action across many different areas. Key strategies include getting good sleep, staying physically active, eating a healthy diet, managing stress, building strong social connections, and engaging in activities that boost self-confidence. 

TEAM TALK BALLS

AFL PLAY Team Talk Balls boost mental fitness by driving connections and conversations at local clubs around Australia.

In collaboration with Movember, the Team Talk Balls will become a key part of Ahead of the Game’s kit bag. Each club that takes part in the Movember Ahead of Our Game program will keep a Team Talk Ball for players, coaches and volunteers. These balls are a practical tool to help young players check in with each other and build connections while having a kick.
