Our Mission
is to promote the mental health and well-being of all student athletes by providing
comprehensive and tailored education, support, and resources in a safe and inclusive
environment. We aim to empower student athletes to cope with the challenges and pressures of
sports, academics, and life. We also aim to help them achieve their full potential. In addition, we
strive to foster a culture of respect, compassion, and resilience among our athletic community,
and to uphold the highest standards of integrity, excellence, diversity, and teamwork.
Our Vision
We envision a future where student athletes are empowered to cope with the challenges and pressures of sports, academics, and life. In this future, all student athletes will achieve their full potential both in and outside of sports by developing holistically across five key domains: physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and language.
Why are we waiting for them to get to college to talk about the importance of mental health?
Recognizing the Need
The pressures faced by youth student-athletes are immense. Balancing the demands of academics, sports, and personal life can lead to significant mental health challenges. We recognized a gap in the support available to these young individuals and felt compelled to act.
​
Breaking the Silence
Mental health issues are often stigmatized, especially in the competitive world of sports. We created this nonprofit to break the silence and foster an environment where student-athletes feel empowered to seek help and openly discuss their mental health.
​
Building a Supportive Community
We wanted to create a community where student-athletes, coaches, parents, and mental health professionals can come together to support one another. Our goal is to ensure that no student-athlete feels isolated or unsupported in their journey.
​
Long-Term Commitment
Our commitment goes beyond immediate support. We aim to equip youth student-athletes with the tools and skills they need through a growth mindset perspective to navigate life’s challenges, ensuring their long-term mental health and emotional well-being.
