Athletes

The workshops have been adapted specifically for athletes. This gives the athletes a chance to get to know their teammates, or meet with other individual performers, and discuss ways in which perfectionism can manifest and decline sporting performance.

Before the first workshop participants will be required to fill out a ‘pre’ survey then following the second workshop participants will be required to complete a ‘post’ survey.
