Mental Health Matters.

COACHES: How do you address the mental health of your athletes?

Here are 13 Great Mental Health Reminders for Us All.

1: Stifle Social Media

Do not let others define who you are on social media. Too much negativity is directed at Athletes and Coaches on Social Media. Too many DM’s are being sent to athletes.

ATHLETES: Consider limiting social media during your season. Keep things private. Keep a close circle.

2: "Comparison is the Thief of Joy."

ATHLETES: Do not compare yourself to others. It is always a losing battle. Be the best version of yourself. That is all you can do.

3: Find a Support System or Mentor

There are many tough days as an athlete. Find a support system. Find a mentor. Be open to sharing your thoughts and feelings. Open up to your coach.

4: Perfection is a Process, not an Expectation.

Many athletes seek perfection. Many elite athletes are Type “A" personalities. Perfection is an unreachable goal. It is impossible to reach. No one can be perfect. Just do your best. Focus on the process, not the outcome. That is all you can do.

5: Remember Your Why

Why do we play sports? For the Joy, Fun, Competition, and more. Don’t ever lose sight of this.

6: It’s the Process, Not the Prize

Winning is not an end game. Have a healthy mindset on winning:

- Wanting to win is important.
- Learning how to win is important.
- Having a 'failure is growth' mindset is important.

7: Find Balance

A rule to live by: Everything in moderation. Athletes need balance in their life. Find other hobbies, interests, and healthy releases. Make time to do these. Do not be a “Starving Baker.”

8: Person first. Athlete second.

ATHLETES: You are not defined by your jersey.

- You are a person first.
- You are an athlete, second.
- Do not lose sight of this.
- Do not let others dictate this for you.

PARENTS: Be aware of this. Child First - Athlete Second.

9: Failure is Growth

ATHLETES: Make sure you have a healthy mindset of Failure. Failure is okay. Failure is Growth. Make sure you keep a healthy failure mindset.

10: Lead with Grace.

COACHES, lead with Grace. Your players are People first. Athletes second. As coaches, we all need to remember this. Build relationships every day. Keep an open door with all of your athletes.

11: Have life talks. Have culture talks.

COACHES: For most of us, this is why we got into coaching. Have purposeful talks with your team or individuals. Talk about your culture. Talk about leadership. Talk about life.

12: Feed Yourself First

ATHLETES: Do not be a “Starving Baker.” Feed yourself first. Set aside “ME” time. Remember, you cannot be there for others if you are not there for yourself first.

13: Play with JOY

ATHLETES: Remember why you play! Don’t get stuck in the grind. Have fun. Support your Teammates through the + and -.

COACHES, keep the game FUN!
