Overview

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, approximately 35% of elite athletes and 30% of collegiate athletes suffer from mental health issues such as eating disorders, depression, or anxiety. However, only 10% of athletes who have a mental illness get care from a mental health professional. 

This gap in mental health support for athletes led to the creation of The AthMindset® Workbook: Training Your Mind for Optimal Mental Health in Sport and in Life. Co-authored by a physician and a licensed mental health clinician/mental performance consultant, this guide equips athletes at every level with essential tools to elevate their mental well-being on and off their field of play.
