Developing Competitors and Mental Wellness
Through Positive Coaching
Tuesday December 2, 2025
6:30 P.M. - 7:45 P.M.
Virtual Event
Now more than ever, teen mental wellness needs our focus. Mental wellness affects how we think, feel, and act and determines how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. A positive sports experience, where athletes develop and build connections in an environment that is high on both challenge and support, can contribute to athletes’ mental wellness. This workshop gives coaches hands-on tools they can immediately use to create a positive sports culture with their team.
Topics Covered
- Building trusting relationships
- Coaching for skill development
- Creating a positive and supportive environment
- Competing with dignity
MENTAL WELLNESS VS. MENTAL HEALTH
This workshop provides coaches with tools to create a positive sports environment that encourages athlete mental wellness. It does not provide tools for diagnosing or treating your athletes who may be struggling with their mental health.
This is a virtual workshop provided in partnership with the Positive Coaching Alliance. After registering, workshop participants will receive a confirmation email containing the link to the meeting. They should flag this email so they can find the meeting link on the day of the workshop.
