Mental Health in Sport

Mental health in sport refers to an athlete’s emotional and psychological well-being, encompassing how they think, feel, and handle stress related to training, performance, and competition. Just like physical health, mental health is vital for optimal performance and overall quality of life. Athletes may face issues like anxiety, depression, or burnout due to pressure, injuries, or expectations. Recognizing and addressing mental health is essential for maintaining resilience, focus, and confidence, enabling athletes to perform at their best and enjoy their sport while also ensuring their emotional well-being.
