How Do Coaches Deal with Athletes with Disordered Eating?
- Abstract
The article reports on a study from Loughborough University in Great Britain that examines how track-and-field coaches interact with athletes they suspect might be developing an eating disorder. Topics mentioned include the outcome of the study authors' semi-structured interviews with the coaches, an active role taken by the supportive coaches in looking for professional help for an athlete, and the built-in advantage of the coaches due to their relationship with athletes.
