Describe TWO changes that have happened because athletes have
spoken up about mental health. Use evidence from the article to support
your thinking. *

Answer :

It is essential to promote mental health today, where there is a great flow of stimuli and information happening very quickly and at the same time.

For high-performance athletes, who deal with extensive daily training routines, stress and anxiety before a competition, preserving mental health must be a priority to maintain well-being and productivity.

Some changes that occurred in sports in favor of mental health were:

  1. The development of knowledge in mental health.
  2. The detection of signs of mental illness in athletes.

These changes are already positive in general, in an environment where there is a lot of pressure and physical effort, as knowing more about mental health and early identification of signs that an athlete is developing a mental illness is a great start, but still more changes need to be implemented, where an individual's individual needs are respected.

Some practices that could be implemented to preserve mental health are the flexibility of the heavy training routine with leisure and socialization schedules for the athlete, and the inclusion of a team of psychologists specialized in monitoring the athletes.
