At Minds Matter, our mission is to equip student athletes with the tools and knowledge to navigate the pressures of competition, to build a community where they feel understood and supported, and to advocate for systemic change within sports culture to prioritize mental health.

Without a dedication to mental health, an athlete can not perform to their highest potential - and it starts with recognizing the issue. By fostering open dialogue, challenging misconceptions, and promoting self-care practices, Minds Matter is dedicated to creating a future where mental health is valued as highly as physical performance in the realm of youth athletics. We are dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health in athletics, and emphasizing the strength in vulnerability. By providing many accessible resources such as peer support networks and educational workshops tailored to the unique challenges faced by student athletes, we strive to cultivate a culture of mental wellness, enabling young athletes to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
