A Thoughtful Guide to Processing Grief for Athletes, Coaches and Teams

Grief is one of life’s most formidable opponents
It’s unpredictable, overwhelming, and often comes without a clear playbook. For athletes, coaches, and teams, losing someone close to you can disrupt not only the game but the bonds that hold you together. Whether mourning the loss of a loved one, a teammate, or a coach, processing grief in the fast-paced world of sports can feel isolating and confusing.
This guide is designed to meet you where you are, offering thoughtful prompts and reflective exercises tailored for those who live and breathe sports. Athletes will find a space to reconnect with their inner strength. Coaches will gain tools to foster healing conversations. Teams will be guided toward a shared sense of resilience and purpose.
As you move through each page, you’ll explore your emotions, honor your loss, and begin the journey toward healing—at your own pace, on your own terms. This isn’t about “bouncing back” but learning to carry your grief forward in a way that empowers you as an athlete, coach, team and a person.
Let this guide be your trusted teammate as you navigate one of life’s hardest seasons with courage, compassion, and strength.
