“…She described being able to pull through adverse experiences with the support of her relationship with God. According to Galli and Reel (2012), athletes commonly use religious practices to cope with their adversity (see also, Czech et al, 2004;Egli & Fisher, 2017;Mosley et al, 2015;Waller et al, 2016).…”

The Ironman triathlon is one of the most famous endurance races in the world. Consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run, it requires significant physical and mental fitness training (Atkinson, 2008) as well as substantial investments in equipment, time, and emotional energy. As opposed to more casual leisure pursuits, the Ironman triathlon can be considered a serious leisure pursuit (Stebbins, 1982). Like other serious athletic leisure pursuits, participation in triathlon can facilitate personal growth experiences, especially through overcoming sport-related adversity (e.g., Atkinson, 2008; Connaughton et al., 2010; Galli & Reel, 2012). In fact, researchers have reported self-discovery, empowerment, agency, and mental toughness as potential benefits of sport-related growth through adversity (Atkinson, 2008; Cronan & Scott, 2008; Galli & Vealey, 2008; Granskog, 1992, 2003; Howells & Fletcher, 2015; Howells et al., 2017; Sarkar et al., 2015).

“…This collaboration among disciplines is becoming more common in universities across the U.S. as the connection between overall well-being and resiliency, and enhanced academic and athletic performance, has been established (Davidson et al, 2009;Hufford, Fritts, & Rhodes, 2010;Waller et al, 2016).…”

“…An increasing number of universities are adopting the practice of holistic care, also known as collaborative care. Collaborative care involves a joint effort among all healthcare resources offered across a campus and community to aid and empower athletes (Waller, Huffman, & Hardin, 2016). This collaborative effort among resources has demonstrated success in enhancing both athletic and academic performance, aiding in recovery from injury, improving mental health, and supporting career development efforts among studentathletes (Davidson, Wingate, Rasmussen, & Slish, 2009;Glick, Stillman, Reardon, & Ritvo, 2012;Koenig, King, & Carson, 2012).…”

According to Waller et al (2016), the components of collaborative care for collegiate athletes should promote empowerment, compassion and empathy, respect and holism, and choice and autonomy. This type of holistic care focuses primarily on overall well-being rather than solely athletic performance.…”

Many adolescent and young adult athletes only access the healthcare system through involvement in sports. Yet, many opportunities are missed in the sports medicine environment to provide holistic, quality care for these athletes that assist them in navigating toward healthy adulthood and that also address inequities that impair good health. Since most causes of morbidity and mortality in this age group are related to poor health behaviors, and comprehensive health care services are fragmented, it is imperative that sports medicine healthcare be reimagined to incorporate a social-ecological perspective that holistically addresses the unique medical, social, cultural, and behavioral needs of athletes. We propose a socialecological perspective that enhances developmental assets as the basis for sports medicine services. This innovative approach -the Holistic Athletic Healthcare Model -involves (a) addressing adolescent developmental needs and the social determinants of health at the individual level, (b) using strength-based approaches and demonstrating cultural competency in healthcare provider relationships, (c) integrating medical care with campus community services, and (d) promoting health equity in the campus environment. Engagement in sports has many benefits beyond winning in the game and health is more than being injury-free. Sports medicine practitioners and healthcare systems must be proactive in supporting athletes from all backgrounds to become healthy adults.

“…There is much scholarly debate about this term and what it signifies with many suggesting that the high-level, commercialised culture of university sport leaves student-athletes in the vulnerable position of managing an overwhelming schedule of both academics and athletics (Shropshire & Williams, 2017). Therefore, a body of literature has emerged looking at the holistic well-being of NCAA student-athletes (Waller et al, 2016).…”

Due to the high level of competition, many people may assume that student-athletes are healthier than their non-athlete peers.However, there are several critical pieces of information not considered in this assessment. Many student-athletes have an atypical lifestyles and stressors that can negatively affect their physical health (Rubin, 2016). Although most university students must deal with career choices, identity exploration, mental health issues and the navigation of interpersonal relationships, student-athletes face additional stressors with athletic time commitments, constant public scrutiny, gruelling daily workouts and overwhelming expectations (Divin, 2010). Time demands, physical demands, balancing athletic and academic endeavours, the immense pressure to win, and career adjustment issues can also add considerable emotional and physical strain that makes them a population at risk for negative health outcomes (Dean & Rowan, 2014).
