If you play or have experience playing an invasion/territory-based team sport then we want to hear from you! ⚽🏒🏀🏑🏈🥍🏉

We’re looking for adults (aged 18 or older) who play or played team sport at any level to complete an online survey.

We’re interested in seeing if there are elements of playing team sport that are mentally fatiguing for athletes.

If this sounds like you, you can access the survey using the following link: https://redcap.canberra.edu.au/surveys/?s=XDHAMTKWFPW4HX78.
