Job details

We’re new, and we’re building something we believe in. The Centre of Attuned Sport is a new organization, and we’re about to launch Athletes Corner, our one-to-one therapy service for young athletes. We’re looking for four exceptional clinicians to launch it with us: people who are experts in working with young people and who truly understand sport. We’ll be honest: this isn’t a large, established practice with years of systems behind it. It’s a chance to help shape a new kind of practice from the beginning, alongside a founder who has spent 20 years as a Registered Social Worker with children, youth and families. Why we’re doing this Emotions belong in sport. But who is teaching young athletes the skills to handle them? Most athletes who come to us aren’t in crisis. They’re dealing with pressure, confidence, perfectionism, injury, identity and the weight of competing. They deserve clinicians who understand what their sport asks of them.
