What Can We Do?
Don't be Afraid and Find Support
Many young athletes due to many reasons, such as stigma and fear, don’t seek the necessary support when needed. However, when you start experiencing mental health difficulties, find someone you can trust and talk to. With the proper encouragement and guidance from others, you can recover from your injury efficiently and positively. Below are some resources, including trusted organizations you can rely on for support.
Learn more About the Issue and its Solutions
Understand more about why youth athletes struggle with mental health and the effects it has on an athlete. Then, we can understand more effective practices to positively and healthily approach injuries, including finding help from others and engaging in other passions. By becoming more knowledgeable in the area, we can only help with mental health struggles when confronting an injury, which will allow athletes to more positively and more quickly return to their sport.
Upcoming Scientific Research
In the future, I will be conducting my own research related to mental health and injuries among youth athletes. I plan to incorporate neuroscience and data science skills to understand injuries and their effect on the brain.
