Positive Coaching Alliance Workshop - Led by Brett Nichols
A workshop that equips coaches to support athlete mental wellness by building a team culture centered on connection, resilience, and growth - leading success both on and off the field.
Mental wellness isn’t just the absence of struggle. It’s an athlete’s ability show up, connect, bounce back from mistakes, and find joy in the game. With today’s athletes under more pressure than ever – on the field, in the classroom, and online – coaches are uniquely positioned to protect and support their athlete’s mental wellness through sports.
Coaches will learn actionable ways to:
• Build trusting relationships
• Foster skill mastery that focuses on growth and effort
• Support individual needs to ensure that athletes feel a sense of belonging
• Model integrity across every aspect of the sport
• ...and much more!
Kevin Love Fund Workshop - Led by Lucia Gargicevich-Almeida
Join the Kevin Love Fund for an interactive professional development session featuring a live demo of a lesson from their Athlete Mental Health Program. Coaches and educators will get to participate in the activity firsthand and leave ready to implement it directly with their student-athletes.
This session equips athletic staff with evidence-based tools to help student-athletes express their emotions, build resilience, and recognize their multifaceted identities beyond sports—preparing them to navigate future transitions and challenges. You will discover practical ways to solidify your role as a trusted adult, reduce stigma, and build team culture.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to sign up for an expanded, in-depth 60-minute training, which provides free access to the KLF digital platform with over 25 activity-based mental health lessons.
