Expanding the Reach for Mental Wellness for Better Performance in Sport & Life
Kids can give up playing sports easily without the proper motivation and encouragement. They deal with a lot of stress on the field trying to please the fans, the coach and, most of all, their parents. If they feel that they cannot win or improve, children may give up or convince their parents that they no longer like a particular game. Peer pressure can also play a factor if they start to develop friendships with other kids who don’t play sports and have a lot more free time or friends who think playing sports is silly or pointless.
Enjoy and have fun with the sport or activity. Parents and coaches frequently place too much emphasis on winning and losing and forget that the primary reason most athletes and participants play is because they enjoy the game.
Expand the Reach is a web based resource for coaches, athletes of all levels, parents and community organizations to support Mental Wellness, and early intervention for better performance in sport & life.
