For Coaches
Hi Coaches!
You have one of the most influential roles in the lives of young athletes.
Your words and actions create the environment where your athletes learn and grow–with a lasting impact that will help shape their physical and mental well-being both on and off the field. It is so important to be aware that research suggests athletes are about three times more likely to develop an eating disorder than non-athletes for a variety of reasons.
You can change this for your athletes with some basic awareness and education on how to create an environment where young athletes can thrive–mentally and physically.
