Introduction
Welcome to the module on mental health and disordered eating. The programme includes a module on these subjects because poor mental health and disordered eating doesn’t just harm your performance as an athlete. It is incredibly harmful to your quality of life, both mentally and physically. Having worked in sport for many years what we have learnt is that, even more important than you being a great athlete, is that you are a happy person who feels able to cope with whatever life throws at you. We hope this module will help with that.

Overview
This training course has been designed with the following key areas, there are five units for you to follow. We will look at all the benefits of maintaining positive mental health as an athlete and then we will learn about depression, anxiety, addictions and disordered eating. Each unit will cover information about these different elements of mental health, some case studies about athletes who have struggled with that issue, some techniques you can learn to reduce your risk of suffering from it and lots of information on where you can go to for support or help. Each unit will finish with a set of multiple-choice questions to test how much you have picked up – so take some notes along the way on anything which seems valuable for you to remember. We really hope you learn lots about this important subject so you feel able to look out for the mental health of yourselves, and those around you.
