Athlete welfare should be of central importance in all sport. This
comprehensive volume features cutting-edge research from around the
world on issues that can compromise the welfare of athletes at all
levels of sport and on the approaches taken by sports organisations to
prevent and manage these. In recent years, sports organisations have
increased their efforts to ensure athlete health, safety, and
well-being, often prompted by high-profile disclosures of sexual,
physical, and emotional abuse; bullying; discrimination; disordered
eating; addiction; and mental health issues. In this book,
contributors lift the lid on these and other issues that jeopardise
the physical, emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual welfare
of athletes of all ages to raise awareness of the broad range of
challenges athletes face. Chapters also highlight approaches to
athlete welfare and initiatives taken by national and international
sport organisations to provide a safer, more ethical sports
environment. As the first book to focus exclusively on athlete
welfare, this is an essential read for students and researchers in
sports studies, coaching, psychology, performance, development and
management, and physical education. It is also a useful reference
point for anyone working in welfare, safeguarding, child protection,
and equity and inclusion in and beyond sport.
