A genuine and vulnerable insight into the sporting journey of Ian Braid – dedicated to Nina Foord who sadly passed away recently.
Nina typified the amazing work that volunteers do in sport and also impacted on Ian’s journey from being a young boy volunteering at the local rugby club right the way through to championing the cause and providing support for both athletes and those that help the athletes.
Ian shares some of the highs and lows of his career including some personal challenges but what is clear is the impact he has had on the sporting system and many individuals by bringing attention to some hugely important issues.
Below is a little more detail about Ian. I am confident that he will make you think and that there are some great take away messages from the podcast. Enjoy!
Ian has brought together his significant experience in sport and his passion for helping others under the umbrella of DOCIAsport the company he founded in 2017. He brings a refreshing and independent view to all aspects of duty of care in sport from the perspective of coaches, officials, athletes, administrators, and the sector itself. Ian is acknowledged as a trusted leader whose opinions are widely sought after in sport, higher education, government, and business. He is recognised as a champion of mental health education. DOCIAsport has been shortlisted for a national award as Mental Health Consultancy 2020 and Ian himself is a fellow of the Mental Health Collective. Ian has given acclaimed keynote presentations, lectures, podcasts, and workshops throughout the UK.
His vision as CEO of the British Athletes Commission led to the sector strengthening the support offered to vulnerable adults in sport. He also played a key role in the DCMS review of duty of care in sport assisting Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson. These became the platform for Ian to deliver sustainable positive change in sport, mental health provision and for the next generation of sport leaders applying his values, skills, and experience
