The 2024 Paris Olympics showcased incredible athletic feats, including Cindy Ngamba's boxing medal for the Refugee Olympic team and Noah Lyles's thrilling 100-meter sprint victory. However, the intense pressure and media scrutiny have highlighted the mental health challenges faced by athletes. Simone Biles's return to form after struggling with 'the twisties' in Tokyo underscores the importance of psychological support, which has also been emphasized by other athletes like Naomi Osaka and Michael Phelps. Research suggests that mindfulness, rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), and self-compassion can help manage these pressures. Notably, concerns have been raised about the adequacy of support for Jamaican athletes, particularly in technical and tactical guidance. The psychological toll on athletes, including depression and anxiety, remains a significant issue, demanding comprehensive support systems to ensure their mental well-being.
