> I was on swim-team, an avid runner, and then a really dedicated yoga practitioner. Still have walloping depression and not a big risk taker! Can't say I have a whole lot of self-confidence, either. So I think it really depends, especially if athletes are performing under high pressure situations. There are lots of anxiety disorders associated with sports: eating disorders with gymnastics, running, wrestling, and swimming, for one.
Yes, you're right there. I guess I was thinking of team sports where you have to be quick-witted and co-ordinated but yes anything gets stressful at the top. I did do competition running; maybe I was thinking of sports with more brain involvement.
