Sports Life Coaching Mental Health & Wellness Training & Certificate

Introducing the Sports Life Coaching Mental Health and Wellness Certificate. This course is a perfect primer for athletes, parents, coaches, and athletic administrators looking to become more psychologically-minded. Over the course of 12 modules, we cover a vast array of topics from how to identify symptoms of depression, anxiety, concussions, and eating disorders in athletes…and what to do about them…to practical advice on how to overcome common psychological challenges an athlete may face such as perfectionism, the yips, injury, and transition out of sport. The certificate course would be an excellent fit as a wellness component to a pre-season orientation program or as a refresher during the season to improve the health of athletes and to ignite the power of team. We look forward to supporting you to commit to peak performance and to become a better version of yourself on and off the field.
