Below are some articles and videos recommended by Jennifer.

The Faculty of Sports & Exercise Medicine has a position statement that is quite useful - The Role of Physical Activity and Sport in Mental Health - The Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine (fsem.ac.uk)

This article about Molly Seidel and managing chronic mental health conditions while still being an elite runner is an interesting one: How Olympic marathoner Molly Seidel found a way to run again (espn.co.uk)

A youtube video rather than an article, Alexei Pappas talks about why coaches and athletes need to be as aware of mental health as they are physical health: Alexi Pappas: I Made It to the Olympics. I Wasn't Ready for What Happened Next. | NYT Opinion - YouTube

For those after in-depth insight into sports psychiatry during COVID, there's a paper: Mental health management of elite athletes during COVID-19: a narrative review and recommendations (sportspsychiatry.org)

For resources relating to RED-S/ Eating Disorders, the Train Brave website is a good starting point: www.trainbrave.org

You can also follow Jennefer on twitter where she often posts interesting articles relating to sport and mental health.
