Created by a local family of five, the Coughlans have launched a new journal which is transforming children on and off the field.
The Play Fullout journal offers a range of benefits for children, including those related to mental health.
The family behind it starts with Natasha Coughlan, who is an award-winning entrepreneur, international best selling author and mentor.
Her partner Zane, who was a state champion in equestrian and invited to compete for Australian champion title. And their three boys, Bailey and Tyler who play high performance sport at a nation level, and Chaise who plays rugby union.
“We have used the concepts with our boys since they were little. My background in personal development and life coaching really helped me start the process when they were young,” Natasha said.
“We were sitting around and we all thought wouldn’t it be nice to create one book that contained everything we know will help kids with confidence, failure, goals… and help lots of kids improve?
“We know that all the tools in the book are used by millionaires, famous actors, sports stars and plenty more. We wanted to give kids the upper hand, and not all parents know about the true value of the concepts that are in our journal.”
Zane said, “I was using some of the concepts when I was competing, but not in a formal process, so when we were putting the journal together we took all the things that we thought improved success on and off the field and put it in there.”
By encouraging kids to set goals, practice mindfulness, and develop a growth mindset, the journal helps build resilience, self-confidence, and emotional regulation skills.
In short, the journal offers a proactive and positive approach to promoting mental health in children, helping them to develop the skills they need to thrive both on and off the playing field.
“Designed with the latest research in mind, our journal teaches kids the benefits of goal-setting, self-reflection, and resilience – skills that will serve them well throughout their lives,“ Natasha said.
“Our easy-to-use format encourages children to record their thoughts, set goals, and track their progress as they work towards becoming the best version of themselves.“
