ABOUT
Ahead of the Game uses sport to teach athletes, parents and coaches how to talk about mental health. The programme reviews how to recognise mental health issues, what to do and when to get help. Athletes learn how to build resilience and overcome challenges in sport and life.WHY IT WORKS
Ahead of the Game is based on Movember-funded research. It engages sporting organisations as a way to improve the mental health and resilience of young athletes.WE USE THE POWER OF SPORT
The programme is effective because it uses sport to help participants acquire important skills and knowledge. The programme is run at sport training sessions to engage participants and emphasise lessons that can be taught through sport.WE ENGAGE ALL STAKEHOLDERS
With programmes for athletes, parents and coaches, Ahead of the Game can help young athletes and their support networks promote mental health, resilience and wellbeing.WE FOCUS ON THE SKILLS YOU NEED
Ahead of the Game targets both mental health literacy and resilience. When combined, these skills can underpin mental health and wellbeing over the decades to come.HOW IT WORKS

During regular sport training times. (Usually before, during or immediately after a regular training).WHO PARTICIPATES?
