The GTA project is coming to an end soon. However, we still have the full month of February to support you and your club! The GTA team has an amazing plan to make sure we get the best out of the last couple of months together.
After having had individual meetings with each club, it emerged that most of the clubs involved are looking to supporting their youth coaches at this stage.
We have therefore decided to offer them the amazing opportunity to benefit from a 4-week online training that gives them the chance to learn about mental health in sport, upskill their selves in supporting their own and their players’ mental health, and sharing their experiences with other youth coaches in Scotland.
At the end of each training the participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance and additional resources.
Below you find the full calendar and some information on the aims of each training.
