Lesson 3. How to implement the 4 components in the athlete’s career.
Welcome to the third lesson of this module, where we will explore specific activities that can be integrated into our anti-doping education program. In the previous lesson, we discussed the key aspects to consider when creating learning experiences for students. Now, we will focus on concrete strategies, adjusted to the stage of development in which the athlete is, to guarantee the effective implementation of the four components of the anti-doping program.
In this lesson we will talk about:
- Education at every stage.
- Education for the big games.
Let’s move on to the next interactive!
In conclusion, it is crucial to remember that anti-doping is not independent of sport; rather, it exists for the sport. Understanding the vulnerabilities that athletes face throughout their careers is essential, as these can increase the likelihood of considering doping practices. Integrating this knowledge into educational activities, even if they do not appear directly related to anti-doping, supports a preventative approach.
Since talent is identified early, it is crucial to address expectations and pressures from an early age. Your educational program can play a key role in offering support in this high-pressure atmosphere. Also consider involving parents, coaches, and doctors as positive influences.
The transition to everyday life, especially after retiring from competition, can be challenging and even traumatic. Therefore, education for athletes should include elements that address careers after sports participation and encourage continued participation in educational programs, possibly taking on leadership and educational roles.
