What do 182 elite women’s ice hockey players tell us about mental health and flourishing in ice hockey? Read the full paper here: bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/9/4/...
Infographic titled “Mental Health in Elite Women’s Ice Hockey”, featuring a female ice hockey player. It summarises a study of 182 Swedish Women’s Hockey League players. 41.2% reported moderate or higher symptoms of at least one mental health problem: 29.7% sleep difficulties, 20.9% anxiety, 18.1% depression, and 5.5% suicidal intentions. 60.2% reported flourishing mental health; 40.3% flourished without moderate or higher symptoms and 19.9% flourished while also reporting symptoms. Lower psychological flexibility was associated with higher odds of anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties, and lower odds of flourishing. Higher perceived social support was associated with higher odds of flourishing and lower odds of sleep difficulties. The infographic asks how sporting environments can support athletes’ mental health and flourishing.

What happens before talented players stop playing? Dropout rarely has a single explanation. In selected Swedish players, structural, interpersonal and intrapersonal factors interacted, with structural constraints becoming more prominent as players got older. www.frontiersin.org/journals/spo...

In the AI world we live in, it’s important to know what we can and can’t trust - especially if it’s used as a first an only source of information. I think AI has great potential for the world. But would you trust a person who is wrong half the time? bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjo...

It’s easy to focus on what we’ve lost and what we can’t do when injured. Sometimes people just need some help remembering what we can’t do. Injuries are a human experience, after all.
