A main focus in sport psychology is helping people enhance their performance through the use of mental skills. However, this is only part of the story. Another focus is how psychological development & wellbeing occur as consequences of sport participation. Sport introduces children to useful mental & physical skills that can be applied to other areas of life.

In this workshop, you will learn how children develop through sport participation including development of self-esteem, stress in young athletes, and effective coaching practices for helping children. This workshop discusses issues of moral development and programs that aim to enhance good sporting behaviours,
