Abstract
Each year, thousands of student-athletes participate in collegiate athletics.
Participation in collegiate athletics offers distinguishing advantages, such as apparel,
endorsements, social prestige, money and popularity. Despite the privileges, studentathletes
are not immune to mental health illnesses and conditions. The unique pressures
and demands directly impact the physical, psychological, social, behavioral, and
emotional health and well-being of the student-athlete. It is important to understand the
barriers, as well as the facilitators, toward mental health help-seeking that have resulted
student-athletes being underserved and underrepresented. An essential component to
improving the recognition and management of student-athlete mental health is the
understanding of the athlete-athletic trainer relationship and the perception of the
athletic trainer as a mental health resource.
