ABSTRACT
High-performance student athletes face demands in different areas of their lives when pursuing a dual career (DC). We explored the relationship between DC experiences and mental health (MH). A total of 128 high-performance student athletes completed questionnaires (DCES, MHLS-12, MHC-SF). The results show that DC experiences and MH literacy contribute to MH status. These results reinforce the need to continue to strengthen the research-application relationship by engaging the entourage to enhance MH through positive experiences and literacy.
