When an athlete is injured, they typically have normal emotional reactions. It is important for anyone working with athletes to understand the common psychological responses to injury as well as problematic responses. The purpose of this assignment is to recruit your critical thinking skills and discuss the biopsychosocial model as it pertains to emotional response to injury.
List the common psychological/ emotional responses to injury as well as the problematic emotional reactions using the reading “National Collegiate Athletic Association – Mind, Body and Sport – Understanding and Supporting Student-Athlete Mental Wellness” (pages 61-64)- com/p-4375-mind-body-and-sport-understanding-and-supporting-student-athlete-mental-wellness.aspx?CategoryID=0&SectionID=0&ManufacturerID=0&DistributorID=0&GenreID=0&VectorID=0&”>http://www.ncaapublications.com/p-4375-mind-body-a…
Review the video “Mind of the Athlete – Injury & Mood – Dr. Megan Cannon” 3:16.
Using the Biopsychosocial model as a guide, discuss how the video and the reading could be combined together to get a greater understanding of what an athlete may be going through during injury and recovery. Discuss how the information would form your recommendations for intervention.
