Sports Professionals

The effects of stress or anxiety and how it can impact performance is perhaps best seen in sport, with elite athletes feeling under immense pressure. Mental health and communications training for sports professionals can go a long way to reducing the pressures and stresses in this area while helping to build confidence, resilience, and self-esteem.

Training for sports professionals

Fitness and performance are key to any elite player and helps them to be the best at their chosen sport. When everything’s going well on the field, there are few complaints. But when dips in performance occur or injuries set in, the mental health and wellbeing of any player can be tested to the limit.

Mental health issues are on the increase for sports professionals, particularly footballers. If they’re not treated effectively, they can lead to depression, which can potentially lead to addiction, including drugs, alcohol, or gambling. By focusing on maintaining good mental health and wellbeing, it helps the overall performance of any athlete or sportsperson, as well as their teammates.

Mental health and communications training

We know that prevention is crucial to good mental health. That’s why our mental health and communications training courses and workshops help sports professionals to communicate effectively and talk openly about mental health while building confidence, resilience, and self-esteem.

Each of our courses provides the resources players and staff need to help improve their own mental health and wellbeing, as well as the staff and teammates around them, to create immediate and ongoing change – on and off the pitch.

Popular courses for sports professionals include:

Every course can be personalised and adapted by our qualified trainers to suit the needs and abilities of your sports professionals.

A very professionally presented and interactive workshop session which gave the team the scope and confidence to interact with one and another and share their individual experiences.I am sure the session has enhanced their understanding of behaviors and different situations and equipped them with more tools to better handle different environments & thrive.
