The Resilience Workshop is grounded in experiential learning, self-reflection, and skills acquisition, incorporating scenario-based challenges and guided exercises to deepen adaptive thinking.

It integrates psychological principles, such as cognitive-behavioural strategies and mindfulness, alongside performance science to equip athletes with tools for managing stress, sustaining focus, and recovering from setbacks in high-pressure environments.

About This Programme:

Based: Regional

Sporting Chance provides discussion-based sessions which are designed to get players thinking about their own mental health and their attitude towards it (because we know from working with players that attitudes vary and that is okay). The workshop talks with players about what impacts their mental health both positively and negatively, including what they engage with away from football such as relationships, going out socially, spending money, social media, gambling, gaming, cryptocurrency, alcohol and other drugs. It explores how these can potentially become problematic.

Sporting Chance is a safe, confidential space for athletes who have been experiencing poor mental health (this is a very broad, often misunderstood term that can include ‘just not feeling right’). Sporting Chance also operate a 24/7 helpline, provide access to counsellors and also run an addiction clinic. Academy players can access these services via club staff or directly through the charity if they prefer.
