“…Athletic identity is defined as the extent to which an individual self-identifies with the role of athlete (Brewer & Cornelius, 2001;Brewer, Van Raalte, & Linder, 1993). Although athletic identity can be related to positive outcomes for athletes, such as improved performance, expanded social relationships, and athletic satisfaction, having a strong athletic identity is also associated with more detrimental outcomes like overtraining, disordered eating, and substance use (Burns, Jasinski, Dunn, & Fletcher, 2012;Heird & Steinfeldt, 2013;Horton & Mack, 2000). Transitioning out of a competitive sport career can be particularly challenging for student-athletes who have developed a very salient athletic identity (Lally, 2007).…”

Former student-athletes may face challenges in maintaining physical activity and engaging in healthy eating after transitioning out of collegiate athletics. Maladaptive adjustments following athletic transitions can result in detrimental outcomes for former student-athletes, ranging from physical health concerns to negative psychosocial consequences. In contrast, positive transitions can promote optimal health and wellbeing. The Moving On! program was developed in recognition of the unique challenges faced by student-athletes and the importance of making healthy transitions out of college sports. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Moving On! program’s influence on several relevant theoretical constructs that influence health behaviors, including student-athletes’ self-perceptions and self-determined motivation for maintaining physical activity and healthy eating, along with their self-efficacy and intentions for engaging in these health-related behaviors after college. NCAA student-athletes in their final year of competition were recruited from two institutions. Participants (N = 20) completed the Moving On! program along with pre- and post-test surveys and focus group interviews. Survey results revealed positive changes in nutrition-related self-perceptions (t(19) = 2.406; p = 0.026; g = 0.38) and self-efficacy for healthy eating behaviors (t(19) = 3.022; p = 0.007; g = 0.70). No significant changes were observed for exercise identity (p = 0.845), physical activity self-efficacy (p = 0.114), or autonomous motivation for exercise (p = 0.108) and health eating (p = 0.264). Focus group responses indicated that student-athletes’ experiences in the program fostered positive shifts in their self-perceptions, enhanced their self-determined motivation, and reinforced their intentions for engaging in physical activity and healthy eating in the future. Implications for future research and program implementation are discussed.

“…They develop mental skills to enhance performance that in other circumstances may encourage unhelpful emotional suppression (Markser, Currie, & McAllister-Williams, 2016). Developing a strong athletic identity can mean neglecting other important facets of life, leaving the athlete with fewer emotional supports if things go wrong in the sporting realm (Burns, Jasinski, Dunn, & Fletcher, 2012;Linville, 1987). Finally, they may develop a lifestyle of frequent travel, poor sleep, and long periods away from the support of close family and friends.…”

Athletes experience a range of mental health problems with at least an equivalent prevalence to the general population. This chapter explores the psychiatrist's role in sport, along a pathway of mental healthcare from 'upstream' prevention, screening, and early detection of mental stress to 'downstream' assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery from mental illness. At each stage on this pathway the psychiatrist has a broad spectrum of bio-psycho-social strategies to employ in clinical practice. Upstream, the importance of psychological resilience is described along with the concept of mental 'pre-habilitation' (a term usually associated with the prevention of physical injury). Alongside these preventative measures, early detection is improved by education, increased awareness, and by the use of effective mental health screening measures. Further downstream ready access to psychiatric expertise and good collaboration between the psychiatrist and the world of sport improve access to treatment, delivery of that treatment, rehabilitation, and return to sport during recovery.

Even though athlete's satisfaction has a very big positive impact toward organizational outcomes like increasing commitment, lower intention to quit, increased job perfor-mance and increase organizational citizenship behavior.…”
