This week is Men’s Health Week and to put into perspective, men have a shorter life expectancy than women - 78 years for men and 82.3years for women. Some of the reasons for that is that men take their own lives four times more than women (on average 5 men will commit suicide every day), accident, cancer and heart disease are also significant factors in men’s life.

In honour of Men's Health Week, we are excited to share with you some of the most motivational and inspiring stories of men in the sports and fitness industry. Both physical and mental health is vital for every person on the planet but is sometimes put on the backburner when it comes to the men in our lives. It is easy to feel like you must prioritise work and social commitments above all else, but at the end of the day, the most important thing is your health! If you're a lover of sports and everything fitness, these stories will serve as a little bit of motivation for your week. It's important to have mentors and people you look up to; maybe some of these people will end up on your list!
