Abstract:
This is an intermediate level seminar that explores variables related to mental health concerns for professional athletes. The pressure of high performance, cultural variables, and unique stressors in the sport environment may impact well-being of professional athletes. However, many athletes fear seeking mental health services due to stigma. Sports medicine personnel, including athletic trainers, may be the first point of contact for these concerns but can feel ill-equipped to manage them. Many mental health professionals have little training regarding effective collaboration with sports medicine. Therefore, sports medicine and mental health professionals would benefit from education about mental health difficulties commonly experienced by professional athletes and ways to improve interprofessional collaboration. This seminar is appropriate for athletic trainers, physical therapists, sports medicine physicians, psychologists, social workers, and counselors working with professional athletes or collegiate student-athletes that intend to play at the professional level.
Objectives:
- List prevalence rates of mental health difficulties in professional athletes.
- List two (2) sport-specific risk factors for mental health difficulties in professional athletes.
- Explain three (3) cultural factors that influence mental health in professional athletes.
- Identify three (3) ways to engage in effective interprofessional collaboration between sports medicine and mental health professionals.
