Mental and developmental disorders
People with mental disorders experience emotional, behavioral, or social challenges that hinder their daily functioning. Examples include autism, major depression, and various personality disorders. Coaches must be aware of these challenges and be prepared to create a supportive and understanding environment for these athletes.
General Guidance
The information in these documents is intended to serve as general guidance and provides insight into different conditions and disabilities. It is important to understand that every person is unique, and that even if two people have the same diagnosis, their experiences and manifestations of their disability can vary significantly. This can impact their needs, responses and the support they require. Therefore, it is crucial to look carefully at the person in front of you. Take the time to get to know them and tailor your actions to their individual situation and needs.​
​​
Person versus Behaviour
It is essential to see the person and not just the behaviour they display. Behaviour is often a response to circumstances, stimuli or emotional states and is separate from who a person really is. When we judge someone based on their behaviour, we risk missing the complexity of their situation and reducing them to just that behaviour. Everyone deserves to be seen and respected as an individual, regardless of the challenges they face.
