Abstract

In order to take care of sports injuries, sports physicians need to have a complete knowledge not only of physical diseases but also of the psychological and psychiatric disorders which may affect a player’s health. The role of psychological factors in the occurrence of sports injuries is still underestimated or insufficiently known. These aspects need further consideration and investigation, both from a clinical and scientific perspective, in order to be successfully implemented for the prevention and follow-up of sports injuries. Among them, the social and family environment and the player’s individual history are essential for a personalized approach of the player. Psychological assessment tools and educational pathways for clinicians and coaches are required to apprehend the players. On a superior level, strategies need to be developed in the sports world to protect the players’ physical and psychological well-being.
