The initiative, in partnership with Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation, aims to provide holistic well-being to sports veterans through a comprehensive and free psychosocial engagement program.
Coach Amaraizu emphasized the recognition of the invaluable contributions of sports veterans to nation-building and the commitment to ensuring their emotional and mental stability. The initiative seeks to empower veterans with the necessary tools to transform their fears, worries, anxieties, and stress into strength, enabling them to maintain their health and transfer their knowledge and skills to future athletes for sustainable development.
Furthermore, the initiative serves as a positive and meaningful direction for sports veterans, recognizing the significance of good health and mental well-being, as exemplified by the adage “health is wealth.”
The partnership with Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation will facilitate the conduct of free psychosocial engagement programs to promote the well-being of sports veterans in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goal Agenda No. 3.
These sports veterans, with their expertise and experience, are recognized as talent developers who require emotional, physical, and mental strength to effectively transfer their knowledge and under this initiative, numerous sports veterans of repute will be identified and engaged positively through their respective sports associations and federations.
