SIDELINED: Helping Athletes Adapt and Thrive After Medically Forced Exit from Sport
By Jordan Anderson, MS, ATC, and Christine Pinalto
The course aims to help ATs identify the three domains of experience that characterize the injured athlete’s journey. It also aims to examine most recent data reflecting trends in psychological response and the mental health concerns following medically-forced exit from sport, as identified in Sidelined USA’s 2020 original Institutional Review Board-approved research study. It explains components of a healthy psychological adjustment following medical disqualification as referenced in Brown & Hogg’s Model of Healthy Transition Following Career-Ending Injury. It discusses ways athletic trainers can support the medically disqualified athlete in six key areas: grief and identity loss, social support, coping strategies, affiliation/competence, rebuilding motivation and mental health concerns. It also identifies free support resources available through NATA-sponsored nonprofit Sidelined USA.
