TEEN ATHLETE SERIES: Wellbeing and the whole athlete approach with Sharyn Donaghy

Sharyn Donaghy works with elite athletes on a daily basis and will tell you that a lot of them are missing the foundational skill sets to thrive outside their sport. It's nothing to do with their physical skills or their times. Instead, it's everything to do with the structures, practices and belief in yourself outside of sport - mental health, sleep, career development, financial literacy and social connection.  If you have a teen who plays sport, it's so important to listen to this conversation. You can follow Sharyn for more great advice on Instagram at Educate to Elevate. We highly recommend it!  PS Sporties - don't forget about the Active Industries First Start Traineeship Program ($20k to bring on a staff member for your club? Yes please!) head to Active Queenslanders Industry Alliance. ++ Sportish is hosted by Libby and Georgie Trickett, and edited by Ally Rasmussen. Come follow us on Instagram @beingsportish! We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this podcast was made. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We also recognise the outstanding contribution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples make to sport and celebrate the power of sport to tell stories and promote reconciliation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
