In this Bite Size from Episode #132, Jake Trbojevic and Michael Bevan open up about their experiences with high-performance anxiety and the pressures of competing at the top level.

They reflect on the evolution of mental health conversations in sport — from Bevo’s playing days, when these topics were often swept under the rug, to today’s more open and supportive approach. Jake and Bevo share practical insights on how athletes can manage performance pressure and the importance of speaking up about mental health.

A must-listen for athletes, coaches, and anyone striving to perform at their best while looking after their wellbeing.
