Game Plan is excited to share three new mental health resources designed to support athletes, coaches, and sport leaders in navigating mental health considerations in the training and competition environment.
Developed in collaboration with mental health experts, these resources provide structured guidance for managing an athlete’s journey back to sport following a mental health-related leave, as well as for situations that may require their removal from sport due to mental health concerns.
- Return to Sport Guideline: A stepwise guide to assist athletes returning to competitive or training environments after disclosing a mental health condition or experiencing mental health symptoms.
- Return to Sport Flowchart: A step-by-step visual tool to facilitate the return-to-sport process following a mental health-related leave.
- Removal from Sport Guideline: A structured guideline to help determine when an athlete should be removed from the sport environment due to mental health concerns.
