Athletes are increasingly speaking up about their struggles with mental illness, including high-profile stars such as Michael Phelps, Kevin Love, Simone Biles, and Naomi Osaka. This trend is likely to continue as athletes recognize the potential benefits of openness, both for themselves and for others. In Mind Game: An Inside Look at the Mental Health Playbook of Elite Athletes, Julie Kliegman provides valuable insights into how elite athletes manage mental performance and mental illness. She explores the recent mental health movement in sports, the history and practice of sport psychology, the stereotypes and stigmas that prevent athletes from seeking help, and the challenges faced by athletes during injury and retirement.
Kliegman also examines the impact of various mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, substance abuse, and more. She advocates for acceptance, progress, and problem-solving in addressing these issues. The book features insightful interviews with Olympians Chloe Kim, McKayla Maroney, and Adam Rippon, NBA players Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan, former U.S. Open tennis champion Bianca Andreescu, and many other athletes and experts.
Mind Game sheds light on the ongoing, heartening movement of athletes across sports who are coming forward to seek care and support for their mental health and to encourage others to do the same. It is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of athletes and the importance of prioritizing mental well-being in all aspects of life.
