It Is no secret that today’s youth struggle managing stress and anxiety related to performance and perfectionism. As a result, kids are getting lost and desperately seeking help, hope, and encouragement. The presenters are very familiar with the stress and immense pressure to achieve at the highest levels of sports and academics. As such, they understand the complexities inherent in this arena. In this workshop, ministry leaders and coaches will be encouraged, educated, and equipped with simple principles and techniques to help kids manage stress, overcome anxiety, handle pressure, and unlock their greatest potential when needed most.
