Athlete safety refers to the measures and practices implemented to protect athletes from injury and harm during training and competition. This includes proper equipment, safe playing environments, and adherence to rules and regulations. Organizations like the National Athletic Trainers' Association emphasize the importance of injury prevention strategies and emergency preparedness. In addition to physical safety, mental well-being is also crucial for athletes. Support systems, such as sports psychologists and coaches, play a vital role in promoting a healthy mindset. Ensuring that athletes have access to resources for both physical and mental health contributes to their overall safety and performance.
