Athlete topic brief

When a slump needs attention

You do not need to wait for a crisis or a diagnosis before talking.

Why this shows up in sport

Sport normalises discomfort and persistence. That strength can make it harder to recognise when daily life, connection or safety is changing.

Questions to sit with

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

    Is this affecting life beyond one result?

  • 02

    Am I withdrawing from people or routines?

  • 03

    What would make me seek help for a teammate?

One next step

If you are unsure, a conversation is still an appropriate next step.
