The Real Picture
In an online survey of elite Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) athletes, 46.4% were experiencing symptoms of at least one of the mental health problems assessed. Comparatively, 46.6 million athletes in the USA face the reality of managing a mental illness every day.
These conditions not only act as catalysts for a downward spiral of demoralisation, but also come with a social and fiscal cost with many athletes directed to government benefit schemes.
