Finishing the Interview Phase

We have recently completed the interviews for the Health and Wellbeing in Professional Wrestling project. We have spoken to wrestlers, promoters and referees. Thank you to everyone who has so generously contributed to this project. It has been so encouraging to hear that members of the wrestling community are so committed to improving health and wellbeing. As we enter the data analysis phase and begin to write up the findings, it is clear that there are a number of important issues that need addressing. But it has also been so exciting to hear of good practices already emerging, of supportive networks in the wrestling community, of the way that health and wellbeing concerns are taken far more seriously than even just a few years ago. There is much to be improved but much that already has been accomplished.

We are now spending the next six months analysing the data and writing up the findings.
