Sports Performance and Mental health of Athletes

Abstract

The combination of an athlete's physical, mental, technical, tactical, psychological, and social attributes determines how well they perform in sports. Each separate facet of sports performance includes multiple subcategories, some of which are based on physical certainty and others of which tend to be very changeable. The most complete and representative of those parts of the performance that require the most concentration and preparation time, mental health is one of the factors that affect sports performance.Sports performance and mental wellness are closely related. With the decisions of Naomi Osaka, Simone Biles, and Ben Stokes to withdraw from their respective competitions to put their mental health first, worries about the mental health of athletes have recently gained attention. Research has demonstrated that an athlete's capacity to perform at their best can be significantly enhanced by having strong mental health. Losing mental health might make it difficult to function at one's best or even engage in physical activity. Your mental health can be significantly impacted by even little changes. Making the effort to prioritise meaningful activities and feed your body with healthy foods will help you lead a more balanced lifestyle for better mental health.
