The Coach’s Role in Mental Health Awareness

Hosted by Author of Running in Silence, Cross Country & Track Coach, and NAIA All-American Runner, Rachael Steil

How would you feel to have the right tools and techniques to support your athletes mentally and physically to reduce injuries and improve performances? Author and cross country/track coach Rachael Steil shares how to do this with a better knowledge of eating disorders in sports, and what receiving help and recovery can look like. Steil turns a difficult, often misunderstood mental health topic into an engaging conversation through stories of her own struggle with and recovery from an eating disorder. In turn, athletic staff are empowered to address this discussed problem so that athletes can reach their potential in sport and in life.
