Explore our unique collection

of learning activity.

The Thrive Academy brings principles of performance psychology to you in practical and meaningful ways to support your development.


Using our experience of teaching and learning, we have developed a collection of learning activities that are designed to help you to excel in your role.


Our learning collection has been specifically designed for Coaches, Sport Psychologists, and People Working in the Pathway.


OUR LEARNING ACTIVITY FOR COACHES

A great coach can change a life.

The role of the coach is complex and nuanced, meaning that coaches are in need of support to help them excel in this role.
 
The Thrive Academy offer a series of community based learning experiences for coaches who want to explore how performance psychology can help them as coaches and as people.


We call this our Psychologically-Informed Coach series.
 
There are three parts in the series, each lasting 6 months, that use a combination of live workshops, peer group sense-making, and 1:1 support. 


You can learn more about each of the three parts below.




PSYCHOLOGY FOR COACHES

In this series, we explore practical ways by which coaches can thrive as people and performers in their role. 

In a group consisting of other coaches, you will be guided through the areas of Purpose, Well-being, Learning and Performance.

COACHING MENTAL SKILLS 

In this series, we will get into curriculum and how coaches can design learning experiences that promote the development of mental skills for performance. 

With your peer group, you will explore how to appropriately assess mental skill, how to integrate mental skill development into your practices, and how to practically and ethically balance challenge and support.

OUR LEARNING ACTIVITY FOR PATHWAY PEOPLE

Supporting You to Nurture Talent

The psychology of young, aspiring athletes calls upon those who shape their pathways to be psychologically informed. A well thought-out and supported performance pathway can be fruitful environments for the development of a range of psychological factors. 


To support Pathway People in delivering developmentally appropriate experiences, we have designed our Psychology in the Pathway e-learning programme. This programme is for anybody who has a role to play in designing and delivering the Performance Pathway in your sport/club.


Our aim is to share our extensive experience in working within various Performance Pathways to support you to work in psychologically informed ways. Our experience suggests doing so can accelerate athlete progression, enhance the efficiency of training programmes, support positive performance culture, and reduce unnecessary athlete drop out.


Our programme will be live in the Autumn of 2023.
