Confidential Mental Health Services for Elite Athletes
Why Elite Athletes are Vulnerable to Mental Health Problems
Experts believe that the intense mental and physical demands placed on elite sportspeople make them more susceptible to mental health problems. The competitive years for most elite athletes overlap with the peak age for mental health problems and intense physical activity can compromise mental well-being.
Professional sports men and women face an array of challenges including:
- the pressure of public scrutiny via mainstream and social media
- the absence of traditional social networks due to relocating homes
- the group dynamics and demands of team sports
- the potential for injuries which can end careers prematurely
Retired athletes are at particular risk of developing mental health problems.
