We explore the world of athlete mental health- on and off the field. We discuss the pressures athletes face and the essential support structures for long-term well-being.

We talk about:

• Athlete mental health beyond sport
• Enjoyment versus performance pressure in sport
• Helping young athletes to avoid burnout
• Unique social and cultural pressures on female athletes
• How coaches can recognize the need for mental health support for athletes
• Coaches’ role in athlete mental health
• Financial stress and mental health impact on athletes
