This document discusses the importance of mental health care in sports performance and proposes reframing mental health care as a "legal performance enhancement." It highlights the shift in public awareness during the Covid-19 pandemic and the increasing number of athletes speaking out about their own mental health issues. The paper suggests implementing annual screenings and ongoing monitoring to ensure the overall health of athletes. It also emphasizes the role of sports psychiatrists and sports psychologists in providing support and guidance to athletes. The proposed approach includes two assessments, the Psychiatric Basic Assessment (PBA) and Sports Psychiatric Examination (SPE), to identify and address mental health concerns. The document concludes by discussing the implications of this shift for sports psychiatry, athletes, and sporting organizations, including the potential for greater focus on mental health interventions and the development of new techniques to improve performance. It also emphasizes the importance of destigmatizing mental health care and providing education and support for athletes seeking help. Overall, the document suggests that redefining mental health care in sports could lead to a healthier and more supportive environment for athletes and help them achieve their highest potential.
