Mental Health in Footy | Tom Jonas
Countless young Aussies grow up playing sport, dreaming of life as a professional athlete.
Making a career out of playing the game you love sounds perfect; but as Tom Jonas will tell you, there’s more to it than meets the eye.
The former Port Adelaide captain's 13 season AFL career came to an end in 2023 after a rollercoaster year of inner turmoil. Tom's had to come to terms with hanging up the boots, and figure out how to evolve after footy.
We chat about the AFL's ongoing shift in mental health culture and the broader impact of players showing vulnerability. Plus, Tom gives his insight on managing the mental and emotional side of professional sport.
This is Tom Jonas...

Finding Courage Against Cancer Many of us go through life believing we’re the ones in control; that nothing is going to go terribly wrong if we do the right thing and look after ourselves. But sometimes, when we least expect it, life can be cruel and wildly unfair, reminding us of the fragility of our existence and calling for true grit. Everything was ticking along nicely for Kish, enjoying a ...

    Thank you for this video! I had to stop my hiking, working out that I have done for decades. Started exercising again after 13 years with TRX & Yoga but had to stop all forms of exercising because I then was diagnosed with Acute Heart Failure. Now that I'm doing a little better I've been struggling to find other forms of exercise that I am allowed to do. I'm still not able to hike like I did before, hurts my head and makes my heart too too fast! My injury yoga instructor (also my PT for my other injuries) hasn't been able to find a place to hold classes, etc. and because of my injuries I can't just go to anyone, difficult between heart & brain pain too. I will look into other anaerobics (which was never told about). Wondering what other rehab he has had! I was treated as if a hypochondriac and sent on my way. Working full time, raising a very active son, was a Cub Scout & pack leader, on many not for profit committee boards, etc. They only told me to sleep, which I couldn't with the spinning vertigo and 24'hr migraines, post concussion syndrome for over 3 1/2 years, exhausted and barely functioning pushing myself to the limits because they told me I had too! Continually getting worse and worse. I still have many of the symptoms like he said with words like he said tweezers. My sentence and words get jumbled. Then a few days later I'm fine for part of a day and then back. I still have LT & ST memory problems, still can't sleep, had study and no apnea but no answers again! Seems the USA needs to get their crap together with TBI in fully functioning TBI people that pass their inadequate TBI testing! 😡 they are many of us in limbo that didn't get what we needed and being told it's too late!

    My daughter has been watching my struggles with BP2 that have gotten so much worse in the last decade for a number of compounding reasons. I’ve been on suicide watch in hospital three times and I know the thought of me self harming terrifies her and just thinking about this is ripping me up inside. I don’t know how to protect her from my mental health struggles - I wish she had a normal dad… but the depths of depressive spells and knowing they won’t stop coming is unsolvable.

    I had no idea it’s so socially acceptable in Australia. It is not a ok drug. I used just like this gentleman I can relate to him so much. I was a weekend warrior holding 2 jobs and no one knows. The drug reined my life socially financially and physically!!! It is not a joke even weekend use is very bad do to the decision making it makes you do. It completely makes you decision making go down the gutter

    If youre watching this and you are a closeted gay man, please, WORK ON YOURSELF, do NOT marry a woman to hide your identity. It is devastating, it it is beyond selfish and wrong. If youre more worried about hiding your true self and using someone to help in this operation than you are about the moral shortcomings about trapping a woman who loves you based on a lie, you REALLY need to work through your issues. PLEASE.
