This workshop will aim to give coaches a further understanding of working with their players, and how to better connect with them to make sessions more effective.

It will explore ideas and activities to help develop a better connection, and demonstrate how peer-to-peer support can be used to further increase this.

This workshop will also explore the role parents can play in connecting with players.
