Health & Wellbeing

The AJA, together with the principal racing authorities, employs a sports psychologist in each state for the benefit of all jockeys past and present.

The confidentiality is important to the success of this service.

If you are going through a rough time ( financially, relationships, family, career etc) please pick up the phone and contact the sports pyschologist in your state…….

It could be the most important call you make….
