WITH DANNY SCULTHORPE.

Elite performance demands everything. But when the career ends — or when the pressure becomes too much — sport can leave athletes with nowhere to turn. Danny knows exactly what that feels like.

Why Danny for Sport & Athletics

BEHIND EVERY ATHLETE IS A PERSON.

Danny Sculthorpe played 300 professional rugby league games, captained England and then lost his career — and nearly his life — to depression. He speaks to professional clubs, academies, grassroots teams and sporting governing bodies about the brutal reality of life in and after sport. His session on life after sport is considered essential viewing for any organisation that cares about player welfare. He also works with coaches and welfare officers to give them the tools to support athletes in transition.
