The mental health struggles of lawyers and professional athletes are strikingly similar. Both groups rely on the “gladiator mindset” to a toxic degree, sacrificing their physical and mental wellbeing to succeed, often at any cost. In this session, our panel will explore the dangers of the gladiator mindset through the prism of shared experiences between elite athletes and advocates with a view to promoting a more open and compassionate dialogue around issues of mental health.
NOTE: This program is free of charge for all.
