Psychological Resilience in Young Female Athletes
1. Young males are less likely to follow traditional help seeking pathways in their schools or communities, but have shown increased understanding of mental health literacy and resilience when programming is built into an environment where they feel more comfortable, engaged, and motivated (athletics).
2. Young female athletes typically experience much greater levels of mental distress in athletic performance, in part, due to over indexing in internalizing behaviors. This can inhibit the ability to effectively build resilience. Female athletes are also much more likely to experience body-image issues, creating other nuanced outcomes that can significantly alter their mental health.
