The mental health of athletes has been in the spotlight throughout this summer, as high-profile athletes such as Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles have spoken out about the importance of prioritizing their physical, and especially their mental, well-being.

In this episode, host Dr. Giselle Aerni, MD is joined by AMSSM Past Presidents Dr. Cindy Chang, MD and Dr. Margot Putukian, MD to discuss the AMSSM Position Statement on Mental Health Issues and Psychological Factors in Athletes, which Dr. Aerni also co-authored.

In this 33-minute conversation, they address the following topics:
The importance of a position statement on the mental health of athletes and the novel aspects addressed in the document
The team-based approach to mental health care and why it’s a crucial component for the well-being of athletes
How the acceptance of mental health issues has evolved in recent years and the impact social media has on those perceptions
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on athletes’ mental health and how it reinforces the need for conversations about this vital issue

If you have wondered about the connection between pain and pathology in tendons, this podcast is for you. 

In this new forum, a BJSM reader takes the hard questions to the experts, Chris Littlewood, who has expertise as a clinician and researcher in the rotator cuff, asks questions of Craig Purdam, who needs little introduction to you, and Ebonie Rio, who has expertise as a clinician in tendons and as a researcher in tendon pain. 

Listen to the answers on the complex nature of tendons and the relationship between pain and pathology, and let us know via bjsm@bmjgroup.com if you have a pressing desire to ask an expert yourself about a clinical issue in a podcast. We are always open to suggestions.

Dr Bert Mandelbaum is the team doctor for Team USA (soccer), the LA Galaxy, and Director of Research for Major League Baseball. He shares his optimism about the role of PRP in various injuries, while cautioning that stem cells, despite their promise, may still be like a ‘Ferrari without a steering wheel’. 

He was a pioneer in ACL prevention research and believes that programs successful in women may well translate across to men in sport such as NFL football. 

He takes 2 questions from @BJSM_BMJ Twitter followers. You can catch him next at the 23rd Isokinetic Football Medicine Conference in Milan, March 22-23, 2014 www.footballmedicinestrategies.com/en/
