Holly Rider
Vice President of Education Strategy
Webinar Details
From the professional sports arenas to Olympic medal stands to university playing fields, recent courageous public statements and actions of athletes have focused a national spotlight on the unique challenges these competitors face when it comes to mental well-being and the urgent need for more action. Institutions have begun to respond to these calls for action by providing athlete-specific mental well-being skill-building training to better support these students.
But-is athlete-focused training alone enough?
In this webinar, the presenter will discuss how athletic programs can maximize their investment in athlete-specific mental well-being training by building a comprehensive program that supports and reinforces the mental well-being of athletes across the organization.
Learning Objectives:
