Coaching the Whole Athlete Training Series
Join Project Play: Southeast Michigan for Coaching the Whole Athlete, a new coaching training series this fall.
This interactive training helps coaches and youth-serving professionals see the young person behind the athlete. Rather than sport-specific technique, the focus is on the human side of coaching, building connection and belonging and creating environments where young people feel safe, supported and want to return. Participants leave with practical strategies they can bring back to their teams and programs right away.
Look out for a third session with the exact same content to be added in Oakland County for mid-November! Click below to choose from one of the workshop locations that best accommodates your schedule:
Wednesday, September 16: Wayne County
Sunday, November 8: St. Clair County

Power Hours are one-hour, topic-based learning sessions that invite our partners and community members to reflect on how they’re showing up in our region and amplifying core principles in youth sports, such as Project Play’s 8 Plays and the Children’s Bill of Rights in Sports.
Come ready to engage and leave with tools you can use immediately to enhance your programs.
