Reviews for Mental Health in the Athlete: Modern Perspectives and Novel Challenges for the Sports Medicine Provider

The book is broadly written for sports medicine practitioners, including physicians, athletic trainers, and associated mental health providers. ... This text is of notable high quality regarding topic breadth and chapter brevity for a multidisciplinary understanding of student athlete mental health. It will be highly useful as, to my knowledge, there exist no comparable texts for clinician reference on the topic of mental health in the athlete that are not specific to a sports psychology professional.
