Description
Join us for an evening of education, empowerment and motivation! If you are an athlete, a parent of an athlete, or a coach, you won't want to miss this night!
The I Got Mind Tour focuses on promoting mental health in sports and life for athletes, parents of athletes and coaches. The tour's host, Bob Wilkie, is an NHL alumni who had trouble with his own mental health and suffered anxiety attacks, severe depression and suicidal thoughts and tendencies. It is a powerful story and sheds light on how a young athlete can become mentally ill.
The event will be led by former professional athlete and life coach, Bob Wilkie, whose story through his sporting career is inspiring and emotional. Shawn O'Grady, head of preadolescent treatment department at Hull Services in Calgary, will shed light on the benefits of participating in sport as well as the long term effects of unaddressed mental health issues.
We are very happy to announce that Theo Fleury will be a co presenter for this event.
The purpose of the I Got Mind Tour is to educate young athletes, coaches of athletes, and parents of athletes that treating their mental health is just as important as their physical health; and to provide direction and hope to all those to attend.
This presentation will cover topics of the power differential and how it affects athletes in sports, as well as how trauma effects our brains. The power of a tribe and what our brains require and crave. Sports and the entire experience within a sports community is exactly what the science has shown to be very mentally healthy for all involved, when it is done correctly. Come and learn some new skills to make sports the experience it is meant to be.
This is a don't miss event!
