Description
This pioneering book explores the complex mental wellbeing matters that affect elite athletes throughout their careers. By combining athlete narratives with cutting-edge academic theory, it sheds light on how common experiences can impact mental wellbeing both positively and negatively.
The book examines various factors that influence mental wellbeing in high-performance sport, including the role of parents, education, faith, injury, and selection processes. It also considers the impact of unusual events such as whistleblowing, legal disputes, psychological disorders, and COVID-19 on athlete mental wellbeing.
Drawing on this analysis, the book offers thought-provoking strategies for supporting the mental wellbeing of both athletes and staff, ultimately driving elite sport cultural transformation to prioritize person over athlete. This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners working in related fields, as well as those seeking to facilitate a duty of care for high-performing athletes.
