Why Athletes get Post-Olympic Depression

[@Angreyelmo]

I never even made it to nationals, and I’m still struggling. No wonder an Olympian would feel that way!

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Sorry to hear :(

[@A350Airways]

So the only difference between you and an Olympian is maybe the realization that you might have hit a ceiling much earlier?

[@TheDeterminedRunner]

I'm not surprised they get depression, the pressure they put on themselves alone is immense, when you factor in representing your country, sponsors, funding, social media etc, it's much more than just being good at your sport 👍

[@SamMartinPeakPerformance]

Exactly - so many stressors to deal with and it all eventually takes its toll

Human always need to find the right balance between working hard ans having fun. Most olympic athlete only focus on their body and health wich is not sain.
