USCA’s "Health and Wellness" section is about medical matters, diet and nutrition, lifestyle, mental health, balance, stress management, body maintenance, avoiding risky consumption (e.g., drugs & alcohol), and related topics as they pertain to coaching, athletic performance, safety, and sports injury.  

Good coaches pay careful attention to their players’ overall health and wellness; they adhere to sound practices designed to ensure each player is medically and emotionally capable of engaging in the physical activities required by the sport and position.  They also take proper safety precautions and educate themselves carefully about sport injuries and symptoms, and how to recognize, avoid, treat, and manage them.

Here USCA organizes and presents essential knowledge and resources to help coaches understand pertinent sports medicine principles and wisely manage these important issues on behalf of their players and teams.

Media and broadcasting issues loom large over all coaches as they manage teams, personalities, reporters, the public, and their image.  Managing relations with the media and understanding how to conduct an interview can be essential to a coach’s team and career.

The various technical and production processes involved in sports broadcasting is another key area that coaches must be familiar with, given the need to work with broadcasting production personnel and equipment. 

Coaches and players alike, because of their knowledge and experience in sport, often find themselves very suitable for transition into the broadcasting industry.  But such transitions require guidance.

USCA knows that coaches at all levels will deal with these issues at some point and here provides some good fundamentals on avoiding media and career mistakes, while making the best use of sports media and broadcasting industry participants.
