Services for Coaches:

  • REQUIRED TEAM TRAINING: Each year, every team will undergo a personalized training session connecting leadership among the team to leadership in a social setting. This will vary each year and include topics such as recognizing high risk behaviors like hazing, substance use disorder, and sexual misconduct - and focus on the impact of wellness, alcohol and drugs on performance.  The session utilized a proven effective technique called Group Motivational Enhancement and requires a survey to be completed by each athlete every other year - Fall 2023 is not a survey year. To request a training, contact Katie Bean directly or email prevention@ursinus.edu
  • Private consultations regarding student-athlete concerns. To consult with the Director, email Katie Bean at kbean@ursinus.edu
  • Additional workshops on any well-being topic can be scheduled any time based on interest. The most popular are How to Avoid Burnout, Customizing your Own Self-Care Routine, Developing Healthy Habits, as well as Yoga and Meditation.
