ABSTRACT
The unique effects of the pandemic on athletes are difficult to ascertain because people are impacted differently depending on various factors, including socioeconomic class, race, age, physical health, and other differences. Although we will summarize emerging findings in this chapter, we caution against making generalizations for the aforementioned reasons. We hope that studies will continue as we all constantly learn more about the virus and how we, as mental health practitioners and sport psychology practitioners, can better support and serve the athletes we work with.
