Summary
A train-the-trainer model effectively equipped sports coaches to deliver a youth resilience program. Athletes showed improved self-efficacy and life satisfaction, with reduced stress, supporting coach-led resilience initiatives.
Area of Science:
- Sports Psychology
- Youth Development
- Coach Education
Background:
- Resilience programs are crucial for youth development in sports.
- Effective delivery models are needed to scale these programs.
- Coach education is a potential avenue for program dissemination.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a train-the-trainer model for delivering a sports-based resilience program to youth.
- To assess the impact of this model on coaches' knowledge and confidence.
- To measure the program's effect on athletes' resilience, stress, and well-being.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental design with pre-post assessments was used.
- 11 coaches and 86 athletes in a community rowing program participated.
- Coaches completed resilience and knowledge measures; athletes completed stress, efficacy, and life satisfaction measures.
Main Results:
- Coaches reported increased knowledge and confidence after the training workshop.
- Athletes demonstrated significantly higher self-efficacy and life satisfaction post-program.
- Athletes trained by experienced coaches showed significant reductions in stress.
Conclusions:
- The train-the-trainer model is effective for delivering resilience programs in sports settings.
- Investing in coach training and support is recommended, especially for less experienced coaches.
- Coach-led resilience programs are viable in community settings, including rural and remote areas.

Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences.

Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...
