This CPD session by Dr Adele Muscat addresses the heightened vulnerabilities that young athletes face when navigating major transitions, such as moving from junior to senior categories in sport, moving overseas for sport-related reasons, managing injuries, and navigating dual-career challenges.
It emphasises the need for proactive support systems, mental health resources, and structured guidance to protect their well-being and identity during these high-pressure periods.
