Guidlines

	The coach or staff person who has the best rapport with the athlete should arrange a private meeting with him/her.
	The tone of the meeting should be entirely supportive.
	Calmly indicate to the athlete what specific observations were made that aroused your concern. Let the athlete respond to your concerns.
	Affirm and reaffirm that the athlete's role on the team will not be jeopardized by an admission that a problem exists.
	If the information you receive suggests an eating disorder, share with the athlete the following:

You think they have a problem with weight management, body image or both.

You are concerned about their health and well-being.

Outside help is often required and that this need should not be regarded as failure.
