Coaching Boys into Men
CBIM is an evidenced based, coach facilitated, program that engages male athletes in much needed conversation, centered on respect and responsibility. CBIM is a twelve week program, conducted in fifteen to twenty minute sessions, at the beginning of one practice each week of the season. Topics of discussion are personal responsibility, insulting language, disrespectful behavior toward women and girls, digital disrespect, understanding consent, and additional information young men should know as they enter into adulthood. Coaches are, at times, the most influential person in an athlete’s life. CBIM sparks conversations between teammates and coaches that athletes may not have with another adult in their lives. APH Prevention Education Advocates will train the coach how to facilitate the program. Upon completion of training, the coach can facilitate the program while an advocate will be available, to the coach, for any questions, concerns, or any other type of assistance during the sport’s season.
