Welcome to our participants commencing Certificate IV Elite Athlete Wellbeing Management in Australia this week.

We are extremely proud to be training so many sporting professionals including board members, current and former professional athletes, sports agents, physio's, psychologists, high performance staff and more.

We would like to congratulate Anne-Marie Phippard and her awesome safeguarding team at Sport Integrity Australia.

Please share this Child Safeguarding in Sport induction course with your networks and lets work together to ensure all children experience a positive healthily and safe sporting experience.

Launched on the back of the Federal Government’s National Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Child Sexual Abuse (2021-2030), Phippard says the course will assist learners to understand and implement the Child Safeguarding Policy.

By the end of the course, users will be able to:

-understand what child safeguarding in sport is
-understand what the Child Safeguarding Policy is, who it applies to and when
-understand the role of 14 Child Safe Practices in the Policy
-understand the recruitment and screening requirements
-recognise alleged breaches of the Policy, and

Sport Integrity Australia: Today we have launched a Child Safeguarding in Sport Induction e-Learning course because all children have the right to play sport in a safe, positive and enjoyable environment.

The course has been designed for NSOs, SSOs, Clubs/Affiliated bodies, Boards, Committees, participants, employees, coaches, contractors, officials, and support personnel.

Any individual or organisation who is bound by their sport’s Child Safeguarding Policy should undertake this course, which takes around 45 minutes to complete.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children in sport, by ensuring that everyone involved in sport is educated and informed of their responsibilities to protect and look after children.

At Sport Integrity Australia, we believe child safeguarding is EVERYONE’S business.
We encourage you to complete the course today and spread the word: https://bit.ly/3jPtQqI

Science shows that those with an optimistic outlook have better cardiovascular health and a stronger immune system, earn a higher income and have more successful relationships.

Optimists do acknowledge negative events, but they are more likely to avoid blaming themselves for the bad outcome, they are inclined to view a negative situation as a temporary one and likely to expect further positive events in the future.

Tips for a day of Optimism:

- Try having a day off social media and watching the news.
- Spend your day with positive people, minimise interactions with those that have a negative outlook.
- When a negative thought enters your mind, try and turn the negative into a positive. The more you practice this the easier it will become.
- Try view every experience you have today with an optimistic outlook.

Welcome to Week 3 of the Wellbeing Playbook - Be Yourself

Hi everyone,

Congratulations to those who have now completed 14 of the 28 days of Wellbeing Playbook activities. We’re now at the halfway mark and this week is all about being the “real you.”

As you start the week, Day #15’s activity “Be the Authentic You” asks you to think about your values & make a list of the 3 things you can do to be more aligned with who you really are as a person.

It might not be big things that you identify – it could be as simple as saying “I’ll speak up more often” or “I’ll spend more time with my family”.

We hope today’s activity reminds you about the ways you can act in a way that is more consistent with your values as we know that when people act in an authentic way, they are more satisfied in life and enjoy higher levels of wellbeing.
