is placing an emphasis on strengthening emotional intelligence this season. or signup to continue reading AWFA has recently partnered with new Border business EQ Nexus to assist players, coaches and parents with mindset tools, as a new game day initiative is introduced. Temporary dismissal, also referred to as sin bin, will be trialled throughout the season for specific cautionable offences such as dissent, simulation and delaying restarts.
Juniors will have a five-minute dismissal on the sidelines, while seniors receive 10 minutes, in the hopes of avoiding yellow and red cards. The new rules won't apply to the division 1 men's and women's competition. "Kids will have five minutes where they're invited to spend time with their coach or manager and talk about what's happened," said.
Cassie Neville and Heidi McKay, co-founders of EQ Nexus, will be holding a workshop for the association on April 14 at Albury's Commercial Club. "We're really excited to work with Heidi and Cassie because they are leaders in emotional intelligence within this area," Hayes said. "The executive committee saw it as an opportunity to be proactive rather than reactive with these situations.
"It's really about upskilling behaviour in our sport and helping our youngsters coming through." Psychologist Neville said additional resources will be provided following the one-hour training session. "It's a really great initiative to give kids an opportunity to do some regulation," she said.
"In doing so, we'll facilitate some education and training to coaches and parents with some emotionally intelligent language to use with kids when they're in the sin bin, as well as a workbook so kids can work on their own emotional intelligence at their pace at home with parents." With experience in psychology, education and leadership between them, Neville and McKay soft-launched their emotional intelligence training and consultancy agency service in Albury-Wodonga in March, with an official launch set for later this year. AWFA's senior division enters round five this weekend, with Myrtleford leading the way in the men's competition, while Hotspurs, Boomers and Melrose are yet to drop a game in the women's competition.
