Athlete topic brief

Training load, fuelling and mood

Changes in mood, energy, recovery or eating deserve coordinated professional attention.

Why this shows up in sport

Mental and physical health cannot be separated neatly in elite sport. This page does not help you diagnose the cause.

Questions to sit with

You do not need to answer these online. MindsMelt does not collect or score them.

  • 01

    What has changed in energy, recovery, mood or eating?

  • 02

    Who sees the whole picture rather than one metric?

  • 03

    Would I tell a doctor the same facts I tell my coach?

One next step

Speak to a qualified medical or sports-health professional; do not use this guide to self-diagnose.
