Summary
Being
an athlete requires not only physical strength and speed but also
mental focus and the ability to bounce back from the stress of a tough
game. Young athletes, whether they are playing a team sport like hockey
or soccer or competing in individual sports like tennis or martial arts,
need to take care of their minds just like they take care of their
bodies. Coaches and parents play an important role in building mental
wellness, resilience, and coping skills to help our youth deal with all
the challenges that come up during sport and at home or school. The
audience will hear from Mike Souilliere, youth mental health clinician
at The Royal, about how to look out for and support the mental wellness
of their players/children. Highlights will include: how
aggressive/assertive/passive coaching styles effect our young athlete’s
performance and how to regain our perspective when watching and cheering
on our players.
Presenter: Mike Souilliere, Program Coordinator, Early Intervention Program, The Royal
