Abstract
More and more cases of suicidal ideation and death by suicide in student-athletes are being reported on the news, through social media, and in the literature. Coaches are essential as part of the first line of defense in suicide prevention. This article provides practical ways to support a student-athlete who may be experiencing suicidal ideation by asking the difficult question, “Are you thinking about suicide?” and having a game plan if the response is “Yes”.
