#PassTheBaton: on athletes' side
Mental health is as important as physical health.
Many athletes share their injuries, but they often have a harder time talking about their psychological challenges.
According to research published in the
British Journal of Sports Medicine, around
35% of professional athletes face mental health problems, which can come in many forms: a disordered eating regimen, substance use, burnout, depression, anxiety and many other ailments.
#PassTheBaton, Mondo USA's latest initiative developed under the
MondoCares program, aims to facilitate discussion of these times by asking athletes to share their experiences and offer their advice.
