The monthly International Testing Agency (ITA) webinar returns on 26th of June, with the topic focused on "Building Resilience in Sport".

To take place from 14:00 to 15:00 CEST, it will feature boxer and Muay Thai fighter Talei Aldiss from New Zealand, with Olympian and New Zealand middle-distance runner, Nikki Hamblin, acting as moderator. A Q&A will follow with Aldiss and Hamblin.

Aldiss will discuss resilience - the capacity to recover from adversity, stress and setbacks. A 2022 report published by the World Anti-Doping Agency highlighted vulnerabilities faced by athletes including high injury rates and the intense physical demands of sport. This panel will focus on how to manage these challenges without resorting to doping, and in turn, flourish as an athlete.

This will be delivered in English, with simultaneous translations in Arabic, Spanish, French and Russian.
