You’re a high performer too!

Those working in sport often experience a double-edge sword. Leaders, coaches, and other staff often gravitate to these roles because we value being of service and athlete-centered in our daily operations. On the flip side, we often neglect our own mental wellness as high performers ourselves.

The purpose of this workshop is two-fold:

to explore mental wellness considerations as they apply to you as a high performer at work, rest, and play; and

to discover how to optimally integrate mental health literacy, mental skills training, and mental performance consulting across our sporting ecosystems.

This webinar is for coaches in the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. It is offered to you free of charge courtesy of Sport North and SIRC, Canada’s leading Sport Information Resource Centre.
