Mental Health Policy in Sports

Mental health policy in sports refers to guidelines and practices that promote the psychological well-being of athletes. It emphasizes the importance of addressing mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and stress, just as one would with physical injuries. These policies encourage open discussions about mental health, provide support services, and establish protocols for athletes to seek help without stigma. By prioritizing mental health, sports organizations aim to enhance athlete performance, overall health, and personal development, recognizing that mental well-being is crucial for success in competitive environments.
