After years of experience on and off the field, WE KNOW that
When it comes to mental health in sports, finding resources can be daunting.
We’re a team of experienced coaches and educational experts with a passion for supporting mental health through our sport. We’ve designed our courses to be accessible to everyone in an interactive, engaging format. The PACT team consists of:
During my time as a coach I have had the privilege to work with some very talented players, but have come to realise that very few go on to reach their full potential without a strong character and positive attitude.
This course is aimed at providing coaches of all levels with the tools and ammunition to effectively deliver those qualities.
To say I wish I knew then what I know now, both as a player and as a younger coach, is a huge understatement.
I am reminded of a saying that: "Coaches who have confidence in their ability to teach, create more confident players."
I am convinced that any coach or teacher using this PACT course will be energised and refreshed with ideas that will nurture and grow the confidence of all the young student athletes in their care.
Enjoy the course!
Whether we are referring to Soccer, Rugby, Tennis or any other discipline, players all have to face the big stage. Having 'Confidence' is the ability to rely on their skills and strengths to overcome these challenges. As a former Performance Coach to musical artists, 'Confidence' was the main differentiator to those artists who achieved success and those that did not.
As coaches in any field, we have a major influence on our students and we can enable them to realise that their greatest potential in anything they do starts with their mind. PACT was developed to help coaches do just that!
Let's enable our students so they will never need to ask the question...What if?
It is natural for coaches at every level to want to build successful teams.
However, as I found during my work with the England National Football Team and British Olympic Association, although technical, tactical and physical skills were of paramount importance, real success only came when incorporating self-belief, leadership, player-ownership and collaboration.
I am immensely impressed by the simplicity of how the PACT courses explain these characteristics and skills for coaches working with youth age players.
Anyone teaching children in sport, in the classroom or at home can benefit by being able to use PACT in their day-to-day work.
