Team Fiji prioritises athlete well-being ahead of Pacific Mini Games

As Team Fiji athletes are counting down the days to leave our shores for the Pacific Mini Games, they are not only focusing on their physical preparations but on the mental as well

That is because qualified ppsychologist Peni Tove is engaging directly with the athletes like he did during the Team Fiji Assembly.

Team Fiji says Tove’s session focused on the importance of safeguarding in sport, ensuring every athlete feels safe, respected, and supported both before and during the Games.

They say Tove shared practical strategies on how athletes can identify and respond to safeguarding concerns, manage pressure, stress and emotional challenges and also protect their mental health while striving for excellence.

They add that as part of their holistic approach for the athletes, a dedicated safe space will be made available to athletes during the Games and at the accommodation - a place to release tension, reset focus, and let go of any negative energy that may affect performance or well-being.

The 2025 Pacific Mini Games will be from Sunday to July 9th.
