“Education is the process of learning to instill values and develop behaviors that foster and protect the spirit of sport, and to prevent intentional and unintentional doping.”

In this webinar, Dr Lennie Waite, licensed psychologist, Certified Mental Performance Consultant and Olympian, will explore protective factors that can reduce athletes’ vulnerability to doping and support their commitment to clean sport. Drawing on research showing that doping is shaped by a balance of risk and protective influences, rather than a single cause, this session will highlight key buffers, including the importance of an identity beyond sport.
