Glass Half Full: Good mental health and how to help
Description
Episode 3 features Mark and Rob Shotton, two of the founder members of LooseHeadz, the rugby apparel brand supporting mental health through a group of high profile ambassadors and a grassroots academy. We are joined by Elliott Blackmore, a social, emotional & mental health specialist teacher and highly experienced rugby coach, including coaching in the Saracens Developing Player Pathway.
Conversation includes;
- The automatic association of mental health is bad, so how we can promote good mental health
- How easy it is to reach out and help people
- How we can support our players on their return to rugby after such a long break
- Who will struggle more? A relatively new player? Or those far up the ladder..?
- The parent / child, coach / player relationship
- Being kind
