Coaches want to help their athletes through their unhealthy perfectionism, but many coaches do not know how to do so. This article from the July/August issue of Strategies provides practical suggestions for coaches to help their athletes when they exhibit perfectionistic behaviors.

Over the last decade, young people have begun spending drastically more time engaging with media, particularly digital media. This often exposes them to content and influences far beyond their maturity levels. The messages, images and information they engage with every day through media help shape their beliefs, attitudes, values, and identity. That’s why it’s so important to empower young people with the skills to recognize the shaping effects of media. Teaching media literacy in skills-based health education can do just that.

 

SHAPE America’s publishing partner Human Kinetics will be giving away copies of both National Physical Education Standards, Fourth Edition and National Health Education Standards, Third Edition to three lucky winners. , which will take place in August.
