Movember’s Ahead of The Game (AoTG) is a series of mental fitness workshops which have been proven to increase mental health literacy and boost resilience in young athletes. The evidence-based programme is aimed at adolescent boys aged between 12-18 and is being delivered through community sports clubs (rugby league, rugby union and football) in the UK. During the two-hour workshops, athletes learn how to identify signs of anxiety, depression and low mood in themselves and others. In separate workshops, their parents and sports coaches learn how to distinguish between potential mental health problems and normal teenage behaviour.
