Tackle Your Feelings program psychologist, Luke Jankie, speaks about the role that community coaches play in supporting their players mental health on The Coaches' Box podcast.

We’ve got some considerations for how you and your club can support mental health to create a wellbeing game plan. Just like in a footy season where the premiership isn’t won in round one, these initiatives can be implemented across the course of a season to help you achieve sustained success. 

Like many, I was optimistic about a COVID free 2022, unfortunately that is not the case. The uncertainty that COVID brings can potentially bring up uncomfortable emotions.

It’s been a long time between kicks, and we are excited to see community football returning for pre-season! Whilst we are experiencing the joy of reconnecting with our teammates, dusting off the whiteboard, and re-familiarising ourselves with the scent of deep heat, many may be experiencing feelings they didn’t expect.

We are pleased to announce that applications for the Tackle Your Feelings program for the 2022 season are now open.
