Welcome to the Mental Mettle Podcast! In this episode, I sit down with Toby Vallas, the head football coach at Farmington High School, to explore the transformative power of social-emotional learning (SEL) in athletics. Coach Vallas shares his insights on how trauma-informed coaching, recognition and appreciation, regular check-ins, and a dedicated mental mindset can significantly enhance the student-athlete experience and lead to greater success on and off the field.
Key Highlights:
The importance of trauma-informed coaching and how it impacts athletes' responses to stress and adversity.

  • Creating a culture of recognition and appreciation to boost morale and team cohesion.
  • Implementing regular social-emotional check-ins to monitor and support athletes' mental health.
  • Developing a coaching mindset focused on maintaining strong, supportive relationships with athletes.
  • This conversation dives deep into the practical steps and benefits of integrating SEL into sports programs. Coach Vallas' approach not only helps students feel valued and supported but also contributes to the overall success of the team.

Tune in to learn how these strategies can make a significant difference in your coaching approach and the well-being of your athletes.
