The focus of our Player Health & Wellness program this month is: Technology Addiction and the Negative Effect Screen Time Has on Athletic Performance
- Does your athlete struggle to limit or stop tech use, even when desired?
- Does your athlete use a device for longer than intended?
- Does your athlete constantly think about the next online session or previous activity?
- Does your athlete feel restless, moody, or irritable when unable to use a device?
- Does your athlete keep a phone on or nearby at night, or use it while doing other things (driving, eating, working)?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then this suggests a potential problem that warrants further attention, possibly from a professional.
Our video interview this month features: Dr. Lisa Strohman. She is a local attorney, clinical psychologist, and author. She is the founder and director of Digital Citizen’s Academy, an organization equipped to address the global issue of technology addiction and overuse. She is the author of Unplug: Raising Kids in a Technology Addicted World and Digital Distress: Growing Up Online.
This video will focus on technology addiction and the negative effect screen time has on athletic performance.
