Summary

The default for coaches is to help athletes first, so they often don’t think about their own needs. At best, this is a missed opportunity and at worst it can mean coaches neglect their physical and mental health.

We are pleased to introduce our online course developed specifically for sport coaches. This course has been designed to help improve coaches knowledge around mental health and to support them to apply practical strategies to enhance their psychological toolbox. The course covers a range of material with its focus on providing coaches with coping skills that they can use on a daily basis to help contribute to building positive mental health. The course includes the following material:

  • An introduction to the mental health continuum
  • How to look after your mental health when you are thriving
  • How to look after your mental health when you are managing
  • How to look after your mental health when you are struggling
  • How to look after your mental health when you are ill
  • Strategies to help you identify and manage your thoughts
  • Strategies to manage negative physiological symptoms
  • Strategies to build positive physical health habits
