"The return to class may well begin today, young people who are just waiting to resume their sports activities are still bathing in nothingness. Nothing indicates to them when they will be able to reconnect with their passions, essential to their physical and mental well-being, insist specialists, who judge that the revival of the sport "begins to press"."
A study by the University of Quebec in Outaouais revealed, last week, that a third of young people have suffered some form of distress since confinement. The sports community is not immune to these difficulties, confirms psycho-educator in mental preparation Alain Vigneault.
"We don't yet know how we're going to get back. It's a gray area. There are impatient, anxious athletes. Some are afraid of missing their season, ”said the one who meets young athletes as well as professional and Olympic athletes.
Depressed
“Young athletes are basically adolescents. They find themselves deprived of a passion, confined to their home. There are cases of young athletes where sport is the only place in their life where they are well, ”said Sylvain Croteau, director general of Sport'Aide, an organization dedicated to helping the psychological health of athletes.
For Sylvain Guimond, doctor in sport psychology, the resumption of sport "begins to squeeze" from a mental health point of view, especially for athletes, but also for amateurs.
"We can protect physical health, but our society must not fall into an excess of depression," argues Mr. Guimond.
