Athlete wellbeing is a priority topic highlighted by most major international sports organisations. Wellbeing conceptualisations can be sorted under two ancient Greek philosophical traditions of human wellbeing; Hedonia and Eudaimonia. The hedonic tradition focuses on emotional elements and regards happiness and life satisfaction as essential for wellbeing. Eudaimonic traditions emphasise positive functionality and self-realisation in terms of personal growth, actualisation of inner talents and purposefulness in life. In sports studies the label flourishing is increasingly used to capture both hedonic and eudaimonic elements of wellbeing that contribute to an athlete’s overall wellbeing.
