Description
Most youth face stressors stemming from diverse origins, such as peers, family, school, and social media. Anxiety related to these aspects can easily accumulate and overwhelm many adolescents if they lack a safe outlet to process their feelings. In the domain of sports, coaches play a vital role in establishing this safe space by openly discussing mental and emotional health and incorporating these conversations into daily and weekly practices. Embracing this proactive approach to mental health and wellness empowers athletes to cultivate essential tools that will foster their journey towards becoming healthy and resilient adults.
