Abstract
Sports participation is an important factor in the mental health of athletes. A change in sports participation affects athlete mental health, in addition to other components of the athlete's life, including overall health and fitness, future career plans, current and future financial status, and available social network. Athletes should be encouraged to develop balanced lives that involve rewarding activities outside their sport. Clinicians should evaluate the mental health of athletes leaving sport for any reason, develop protocols to address any concerns, and assist with postsport career and life planning.
