Why is it difficult for high performance athletes to ask for help?
In the competitive world of sports, athletes continually push their limits in pursuit of excellence.

As a result, high performance athletes, although they are perceived as healthy and fit, are at risk of mental health challenges. For example, nearly 32% of Canadian national team athletes training for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games reported symptoms of depression, while 19% reported symptoms of moderate to severe general anxiety (Poucher et al., 2021).
