Description

People who experience overwhelming stress, or trauma, have unique challenges that often aren't recognized within the sport experience. It is imperative that all sports coaches and sports program leaders understand the ways in which exposure to trauma can change a person's brain and impact their behavior. Sport is uniquely suited to help people who have experienced trauma to heal, because it inherently combines physical activity, relationships, structure, and competence building.
