Doncaster Rovers – Mental Resilience & Wellbeing Workshop

Kofi Josephs partnered with Doncaster Rovers Football Club to deliver an impactful workshop on mental resilience, wellbeing, and the mindset required to succeed both on and off the pitch.

As a former Great Britain and England international basketball player and Commonwealth Games athlete, Kofi brought unique insight into the realities of high-performance sport. Drawing on his professional career and lived experience as a mental health advocate, he guided players through strategies for managing pressure, building resilience, and protecting their wellbeing in competitive environments.

The workshop provided players with practical tools to sustain both mental strength and performance under stress, while encouraging them to view their development through a holistic lens — valuing mental health as highly as technical and physical skill.

At Doncaster Rovers, player welfare is central to the club’s culture. Kofi’s session supported that mission by fostering an environment where athletes feel empowered to approach challenges with resilience, balance, and long-term perspective.
