Effects of Athletic Identity on Youth and Adolescent Athletes
Athletic identity refers to the degree to which an individual identifies with their athlete role. While high athletic identity can have positive effects like improved athletic performance, increased team values, and social interactions, it can also have negative consequences. Athletes with high athletic identity often prioritize athletics over academics, neglect injuries, and experience burnout. External and internal pressures contribute to the development of negative athletic identity, but support from parents, coaches, and stakeholders can help address these challenges.
