About this title

About the Authors

With 18 years of experience as Head Coach in the NRL and UK Super League, Matt Elliott relentlessly pursued ways to merge wellbeing with high performance for his teams. However, while he was deeply committed to the success and welfare of others, his lack of personal self-care and unprocessed heartbreak led to an autoimmune disease called polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), disconnecting him from the life and people he loved.Recognising that his limited understanding of mental health was restricting his own wellbeing, Matt embarked on a journey to not only overcome his condition but to transform it into a catalyst for growth. By integrating his expertise in high performance with cutting-edge science on mental, physical and emotional health, he not only regained his vitality but also founded The Change Room, a nationally award-winning mental health and wellbeing initiative. This program has positively impacted tens of thousands of lives, helping individuals return to a functional, fulfilling life, while also supporting businesses and government agencies in reducing injury and enhancing productivity.As a bestselling author, radio commentator, and sought-after public speaker, Matt continues to explore the keys to longevity and thriving with joy. His mission is not just to help others perform at their best, but to ensure he can keep playing, learning and laughing with his grandkids for as long as possible.More information on Matt and access to his international bestselling book, The Change Room: Play the Game of Your Life, is available at: www.thechangeroom.info
