About the course

Participation in sports can be a powerful tool for young people to develop critical skills that they can use throughout their lifetime. That is why the National Federation of State High School Associations, in partnership with the University of Washington’s Center for Leadership in Athletics, has created the course, Adolescent Development: Centering Athlete Needs. In this course, you will learn about how coaches can help the students on their team by creating environments that support holistic student well-being. To accomplish this, coaches must understand what is happening to students physically, emotionally, and socially that impacts their learning and engagement. So take the course, Adolescent Development: Centering Athlete Needs, available for free at NFHSLearn.com.
