Proof of Impact via Members of WholeHealth Sport Nation
"Taking MHFA with other coaches has provided me the tools and strategies that I know I need to better serve my athletes, parents, volunteers and staff.
The class helped me develop new pathways for developing meaningful connections that will help our staff better engage our swimmers during times of mental health challenges or crises.”
- Mike Murray Coach, Victor Swim Club Owner, Warrior High Performance Lessons, USA Swimming Coach ASCA Level 5, 15 years of coaching
“MHFA provided a safe space for the conversations that coaches need to be having
and fostered an environment to let coaches ask questions about topics that many of us felt we did not have clear guidance on.”
- Rachel Judge, Associate Head Coach-Women's Swimming, New Mexico State University, Mental Health First Aider
“I know a lot more about the steps to “identify, understand, respond” when an athlete might be experiencing a mental health challenge.
And it’s prompted me to encourage other coaches to embrace well-being and a 'people first, athletes second' mantra."”
- Matt Spear, former NCAA Division I Final Four Athlete, NCAA Division I Head Coach, Pro Team President and Founder of Soccer Resilience, Mental Health First Aider
