About This Programme:

Based: London

This workshop is called ‘Navigating the Online World’ and is delivered by Cathy Wood.

Social media can be an engaging, powerful, tool for athletes who can use it to; promote themselves, their sport and passions and to connect with fans and sponsors. But, it has downsides, including old accounts, or comments, which have been forgotten about and poor security habits which put players at risk of being hacked, or worse, blackmailed.

This workshop looks at the benefits and pitfalls of social media along with practical advice on how to review old posts, how to implement free online tools and where to go for help. There are also tips on how to build a positive online presence, for players who want to.
