Two minute introductory video to the Bullied Brain channel! If you're interested in Coach and Athlete Mental Health and Performance stay tuned for a course constructed on Jennifer's 2022 book "The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health." The course walks you through the chapters of the book where Jennifer recounts her experience with coaching abuse of teen athletes and how it spurred her as a researcher, author, and sport parent to figure out what is harmful and what is helpful for athlete mental health and performance. What she discovered is there is an enormous gap between our outdated belief system - described in short with the phrase "old school coaching" - and the scientific knowledge on mental health, resilience, and performance. If you want a quick overview on what ALL forms of bullying and abuse do to brains check out Jennifer's series "Bullied Brain" for Psychology Today. https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/the-bullied-brain or her website BulliedBrain.com.
