Welcome to another episode of The Sporting Change Podcast!
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Katherine Tamminen, an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto and an expert in sport psychology.
Dr. Tamminen's research focuses on athlete mental health, stress, coping, and the roles parents and coaches play in youth sports. Her work has made her a key figure in discussions surrounding the "car ride home," which has become a prominent topic in Canada. Beyond her academic achievements, she also offers clinical psychotherapy services to individuals in high-performance fields, including sports and the performing arts.
During our conversation, we dive into strategies parents can implement to better support their young athletes in managing stress and anxiety. We address the broader implications of these discussions and what can be done to create a safer sporting environment for all. Join us for an enlightening chat that not only examines the challenges athletes face but also provides actionable steps/tools for parents and coaches alike. WE hope you enjoy this conversation!
