After a career as a successful elite athlete, Jack battled with his own mental health for many years. With this first-hand experience, he understands the effect it can have on a person, their performance and their everyday life – at work and at home.
Wielding this insight within workplace wellbeing, Jack has founded his own consultancy and previously worked as wellbeing lead at BBC Studios.
Not only this, but Jack’s own mental health experience led him to becoming an ambassador for both Mind and YoungMinds.
“When working in sport I lived by the mantra “A happy athlete is a fast athlete” and this is the same for anyone regardless of your occupation or interests.
“If you want to be successful in your professional life, then you must first allow the human being to thrive by prioritising your wellbeing.
“My purpose in life is to help as many people as possible be the best version of themselves and Champion is the ideal partner for me to fulfil that purpose.
“Performance isn’t about being an Olympic athlete, performance is about being and feeling your best. This is something I want to champion, and I know Champion are passionate about too.
“It wasn’t until I was able to be honest and vulnerable with myself that I was able to get help and begin to thrive myself. These are some of the many values that I hope to bring to Champion in my role as Head of Performance,” adds Jack.
