Emotions belong in sport. We teach young athletes, and the adults around them, the skills to handle them.
Emotions belong in sport. But who is teaching young athletes the skills to handle them? The Centre of Attuned Sport helps young athletes and the adults around them build practical emotional skills for pressure, setbacks, relationships and performance. Because sport does not only develop the body or the game. It develops the person playing it. We work in three places at once: Athletes Corner offers one-to-one therapy for young athletes across Ontario, with registered clinicians who understand sport. The Emotionally Intelligent Coach gives coaches, staff and parents practical training on the first 30 seconds after a young athlete shuts down. Bounce Back is a six-week basketball program that teaches children in grades 1 to 8 to name what they feel, reset after mistakes, and stay in the game. Not softer athletes. More whole ones.
On-site · Toronto
