Emotional Fitness events for professional and amateur sports teams
Emotional Fitness events
for sports teams
Fitness in sport is about more than just physical skills and mental attitude. It is also about Emotional Fitness. The emotionally healthy sports person:
* Knows himself/herself and expresses feelings appropriately.
* Encourages and supports others in achieving their goals.
* Works effectively as a vital and valued part of the team.
These Emotional Fitness events, organised by Brook Creative Therapy, combine bodywork, transactional analysis and play therapy techniques. They provide a largely nonverbal – and fun – way of understanding and expressing emotions.
Welcoming, Encouraging, Uniting
This three-day action-packed event helps sports team members to understand their own needs, appreciate others and work as a team.
Day One focuses on personal needs: feeling welcomed and appreciated, handling difficult emotions, and understanding the link between emotional fitness and a healthy body.
Day Two emphasises the importance of relating well: encouraging each other, giving priority to others’ needs, being available when someone feels lonely or discouraged.
Day Three is about working as a team: flowing together in a united cause (hopefully to win!), recognising the importance of each person in the team, celebrating success together even when things are difficult.
The event is packed with plenty of fun activities, games and team challenges. It also provides opportunities for team members to deal with outstanding emotional issues in an atmosphere that is confidential, safe and supportive.
Event leaders
Emotional Fitness events are led by Roger & Christine Day.
Roger Day is an experienced trainer, a registered psychotherapist and a certified play therapist. He has had a lifelong interest in the countryside and commitment to wilderness experiences. He took up judo as a mature adult and assisted young people in learning the sport. Christine Day is a European recognised adult trainer with a diploma in counselling. She specialises in creative approaches to training and has developed numerous activities that enhance understanding of the emotions.
General information
Brook Creative Therapy’s Emotional Fitness events are designed to help and support all members of a sports team. It is important therefore that each team member attends for the full duration of the event. In some cases coaches, fitness trainers and substitutes may want to be involved, provided the team is happy with this. If this is agreed, the maximum number attending any event is strictly limited to 24 delegates.
Emotional Fitness events can take place indoors or outdoors. Best results are achieved by a combination of the two, preferably in a forest or mountain area away from the public. A residential setting away from the stress of everyday life can contribute to effective teambuilding. Participants need to be excused extra activities during the event so they can gain the maximum from Emotional Fitness.
