Mental Health in Sport: Stevie Ward and Kruise Leeming in Conversation

On September 18, we visited the Inspire to Inspire exhibition, and attended the powerful talk Beyond The Game with Stevie Ward and Kruise Leeming.

Hosted by Larry Budd, this 50-minute conversation brings together former Leeds Rhinos captain Stevie Ward and professional player Kruise Leeming for an open and inspiring discussion on mental health and resilience. From personal battles to lessons learned through sport, the talk is packed with honesty, insight, and motivation. Watch the full video below — and be sure to explore the Inspire to Inspire exhibition itself, where stories of strength, creativity, and community are brought to life.
