  • Summary

  • Unlock the complexities of eating disorders and disordered eating in the realm of sport with this insightful podcast episode. Gain essential knowledge on fostering a healthier approach to nutrition and mental wellbeing within the competitive world of sport.

    Sport safeguarding is all about creating a safe, inclusive environment where young people and athletes feel comfortable to share their feelings and ask for help. It's therefore vital that anyone in a safeguarding setting is not only able to spot the signs of eating disorders or disordered eating, but to understand the 'why's behind it and how they can support our future sporting stars. 

    This CPSU podcast episode talks about:

    • when eating disorders and disordered eating can happen in sport
    • key times and risk periods where disordered eating may develop in competitive sport
    • additional sporting pressures that can cause eating disorders
    • what are lean sports?
    • sporting stereotypes

    Throughout this minicast we'll be joined by Dr Carolyn Plateau, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Loughborough University and former 800 metre international athlete.
