Coaching in Uncertain Times, Support & Strategies
with Dr. Shaunna Taylor
Like every sector being affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, we are experiencing a drastic change in the sport world. We have seen the postponement or cancellation of sport programs and events, and there remains high levels of uncertainty about returning to sport and play. As a coach, you know the profound impact this has placed on you as a coach, and on our Indigenous youth athletes.
This webinar will provide an opportunity for coaches to gain tools, resources and supports to build resiliency and coping mechanisms in your athletes. It will also seek to help you to provide support to your athletes with managing these stressful situations in the midst of this challenging and uncertain time, while ensuring that you are taking care of yourself.
