Mental Health and Financial Wellness in Sports

Nov 1, 2025 | Editorials

This November, we turn our attention to the important connection between mental health and financial well-being in sports. For many athletes, financial uncertainty can lead to stress that affects both their personal lives and performance on the field. Understanding this link is the first step toward achieving balance and long-term stability.

Throughout the month, we’ll explore how building financial confidence can reduce anxiety, the growing role of financial therapy in supporting athletes, and how open conversations can help break the stigma around money-related stress. By addressing both the mental and financial sides of wellness, athletes can develop healthier habits that strengthen their focus, resilience, and overall quality of life—both in and beyond their sporting careers.
