Navigating Disordered Eating in Athletes – NEDA Week
Next week is the start of National Eating Disorders Awareness (NEDA) Week—a time to bring attention to the struggles of disordered eating and eating disorders. These issues are especially prevalent among athletes, who often face unique pressures related to body image, performance, and societal expectations. In today’s episode, we’ll discuss the challenges of disordered eating in high school athletes, share warning signs to look out for, and offer practical solutions to help you or a teammate navigate these challenges.
