There has been a furore on twitter destroying several athletes including Simone Biles, who have withdrawn from tournaments due mental health issues. Whilst I’m not about to comment on these issues, as I do not have any idea how much stress is involved in being an elite athlete and who are these people who feelContinue reading “GET OVER YOURSELF”
