Gambling and match-fixing
Gambling and match-fixing threaten the integrity of sports and can heavily impact an athlete’s psychological state, potentially leading to anxiety and distrust in the fairness of competition.

Athlete exploitation, particularly in collegiate sports, can lead to psychological consequences such as stress, anxiety, and a loss of control over one's personal and athletic life.
Concussion and brain injury protocols
Inadequate management of concussions can have serious long-term effects on athletes' cognitive and psychological functions and raises ethical issues about the prioritization of health over performance.

The stigma attached to mental health issues in sports can prevent athletes from seeking help, exacerbating conditions and affecting performance, well-being, and recovery.
