Cultivating Minds UK has worked with both professional and amateur sports teams in the UK and in the US.

“Distractions off the field of play can, if unchecked, quickly become distractions on the field”

Initiations, Inappropriate social media use, the sharing of indecent images, domestic abuse, sexual violence and poor mental health are all issues that have, in the past, impacted negatively in sports teams.

As well as impacting on overall performance these issues present potential damage to brand and reputation for any sports team.

Making use of the ‘Bystander approach’, provides a focus on personal leadership. This supports conversations amongst teams and individuals that improve awareness of around a

range of social issues. How we discuss and define the term loyalty is key within team environments and will contribute to personal and team success.

The training leads to individuals becoming better aware of events helping them to intervene at the earliest opportunity. Training supports the provision of a range of options that individuals can use to support team, team-mates and remove them from potentially challenging and unhealthy situations. Team values and purpose remain at the centre of training sessions.

We offer a variety of bespoke full-day, half-day, or shorter sessions. To learn more about what Cultivating Minds UK can support please get in touch.

Feedback

1. As team head coach Graham delivered a truly outstanding session with team members and wider committee. Mistakes were made previously. Graham didn’t dwell on the past. He focused on helping us be the best team we can be.

2. The training received was not what I thought was going to be delivered. Graham helped me see a need for me to help my teammates.

3. That was a really useful training. Hadn’t really thought about off field issues becoming distractions
