OFFER
Mental training course for sports leaders
Länsförsäkringar Göteborg och Bohuslän is pleased to offer free places in mental training courses in collaboration with Mindworkout and Well-Aware-ness, based on scientific methods. The course is part of Länsförsäkringar's community initiative for children and young people's mental health. The offer is aimed at sports leaders in sports clubs in Göteborg and Bohuslän. Maximum 24 places per course.
The purpose of the training is to provide a foundation in mental training with conscious presence and compassion through both theory and practical exercises, so that the leader in turn has more knowledge to meet the players in both good and bad times. A battery of practical exercises for children and young people will help the coach.
