High-performance athletes seeking psychological supports due to lockdowns

There has been a significant increase in the number of high-performance athletes and staff seeking psychological supports in recent months, according to Liam Harbison, Director of the Sport Ireland Institute.

Speaking at the launch of the 2020 Sport Ireland Institute review, Harbison said the surge in demand this year has shown that "there certainly is an impact of prolonged lockdowns on the (high-performance) community."
