A significant problem in sports today is the lack of certification and formal training required to work with athletes. The word “coach” is not a regulated term. Many people wake up one day and decide to become a “coach” or “mental coach.”

However, many “mental coaches” lack the formal education, training, and certification required to effectively and ethically help Individuals seeking to improve their mental health.

Just because someone is high functioning in their respective sport does not mean they are immune to mental health issues. Only licensed counsellors, psychologists, social workers, and psychiatrists are qualified to assess and treat mental health issues.
