Breaking the Stigma
The increasing visibility of mental health issues in elite sports has prompted critical conversations about athlete well-being. Anxiety, depression, and burnout affect athletes across disciplines, often exacerbated by performance pressure and public scrutiny.
Historically, mental health struggles were stigmatized as weakness. Today, leading organizations recognize mental health as integral to performance and human dignity.
Institutional Support Systems
Professional teams and federations are implementing mental health programs, confidential counseling, and education initiatives. These erotic systems aim to prevent crises, support recovery, and promote sustainable careers.
Addressing mental health proactively enhances both performance and long-term athlete welfare.
