Unseen Injuries: Addressing Mental Health in Young African Athletes
A torn ligament is visible. A drop in performance is measurable. But what about the silent struggles that weigh on the minds of our young athletes? The crushing pressure to succeed, the anxiety of competition, the sting of failure, and the challenge of balancing identity both on and off the field,these are the unseen injuries. While the physical health of athletes is often prioritized, their mental and emotional well-being is a critical, yet frequently overlooked, component of their overall success and longevity. Neglecting this aspect not only risks careers but jeopardizes lives. Following our foundational discussion in “Setting the Stage,” this webinar dives deeper into the heart of the matter. We will move beyond identifying the problem to exploring actionable solutions.
