Sport 4 Life Cochrane will be hosting a Coaching Female Athletes workshop, the third in the Whole Athlete Education series on October 28th from 7:00-9:00pm, location TBD. Cost = $5 for Member Organizations / $10 non-member. Please bring payment in form of cash or cheque to the workshop.
Effective training, competition and recovery programs promote strong athletic performances. Female athletes experience unique injuries and conditions that may interrupt their training and competition schedules. Although most of these injuries or conditions are preventable, some athletes will lose valuable training time or miss important competitions due to these injuries. For some the consequences are more extreme; early exits from sport or reduced lifetime involvement in physical activity are common outcomes. This talk will discuss key features of creating a positive training environment for your female athletes and provide specific prevention strategies that will develop and maintain the health of female athletes.
