FOR COACHES
Coaches have a big impact on children's lives. Withall.org has created resources to empower coaches with simple ways to help young athletes develop healthy attitudes about body image and food that they will carry with them forever.
Coaches can check out the 5 phrases you can say to athletes, and sign up for the 5 week coaches challenge for guidance on using them.
RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS
The National Eating Disorders Alliance offers a comprehensive Educator Toolkit. This toolkit offers information about eating disorders; tips for teachers, school psychologists, nurses and coaches; curriculum ideas on healthy body image and eating disorders, and more.
