Inviting You To Lead The Change On
Athlete Mental Wellness
Be honest, are you addressing the whole athlete, or just focusing on physical training? Remember, performance is significantly influenced by mental skills as well as physical training! Athletes face mental health issues more frequently than their peers but seek out help less often. Lack of access to a mental health professional (especially one that understands sports culture), and mental health stigmas within sports, contribute to their reluctance.
Some of the unique mental health challenges faced by athletes include
-
Difficulty maintaining high level of athletic and academic performance
-
High stress, sadness, & anxiety
-
Low self-esteem, negative self-talk
-
Unhealthy pressure from parents, coaches, teammates, spectators, and others
-
Experiencing an injury or having a poor game/practice
-
Burnout and overtraining
-
Loss of motivation, loss of pleasure in sport
-
Body image issues, unhealthy eating habits
I provide individual mental skills training for athletes, along with group training and guidance on mental skills and athlete mental health for teams, coaches, and parents!
Why include this in your training program?
Integrating mental health and mental performance services into gyms and club sports is a proactive way to boost the overall well-being of athletes, staff, and add value to the facility.
