Student-Athlete
Mental Health
It is time for intervention and change to support and improve mental health in collegiate athletics. In a recent NCAA survey, rates of mental exhaustion, anxiety, and depression in student-athletes have remained 1.5x-2x higher than pre-pandemic rates.
As shown in this short video, the NCAA has recognized the mental health crisis affecting student-athletes, and it has taken action. NCAA legislation now requires member schools to make mental health educational materials, services, and resources available to their student-athletes throughout the year.
NCAA Constitution, Article 1-D:
Institutions are required to “facilitate an environment which ensures access to appropriate resources and open engagement with respect to physical and mental health”
Many coaches also feel overwhelmed due to the unique pressures associated with their jobs over the past several years, manifesting in high levels of stress. One-third of coaches reported mental exhaustion, feelings of being overwhelmed, and sleep difficulties on a near-constant basis.
Coaches want their schools to understand the changing nature of their jobs, the personal challenges they confront on a daily basis, and the support mechanisms they need to be healthy and successful.
“As coaches, the expectation is for us to be available for student-athlete crises 24/7. While at the same time there is not consistent concern for our emotional and physical well-being.”
– Division II, Women’s Lacrosse Head Coach
