I was able to coach a particular girls’ basketball team from elementary to middle school. Throughout our time together, I was able to watch them grow and mature in life and in the game of basketball! I made it my responsibility to not only focus on basketball, but also on life skills they could use for their futures.
As the eighth grade season started, the coaching staff saw a lot of emotional changes happening within the girls. I did not want to ignore this - because I knew it could make or break our season! So I decided to reach out to J.J. McClain for extra support for our girls. We focused on being in a safe place to talk about strengths, fears, and weaknesses. J.J. used different techniques with the girls and it was infused with short mental strength exercises and yoga. We did this weekly throughout the entire season and the girls loved it and looked forward to it. This was a game changer for our girls and our season! We finished 25-1 in 2 seasons! I am still in contact with every player and they have continued to thank me for what we did for them.
With the stress our student athletes have in sports and in the classroom, we gave them an extra tool to put in their tool boxes. Mental Health is a real issue and we can lead the way in helping our student athletes through programming such as this.
