Agenda

🕑: 09:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Identity Issues Inside and Outside of Sports

Info: Athletes are more than their performance. Holistic identity recognizes that athletes balance life outside their sport and that their worth is not defined by wins and losses. Exploring interests and goals beyond sports can help athletes build resilience and prepare for life beyond athletics.


🕑: 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Physical Impact of Mental Health

Info: Mental health and athletic performance affect the body's functioning. Common issues among athletes include body image insecurities and disordered eating, which is why recognition of early warning signs is vital. Shifting the focus from appearance to fueling the body helps create healthier athletic environments.


🕑: 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Self-Care and Prevention

Info: Athlete burnout and injury can develop from ongoing physical and mental strain, which can impact performance. Prevention includes developing healthy coping skills and helpful practices that enhance emotional regulation, strengthen resilience, and reduce the risk of burnout and injury.
