GET IN THE GAME!
In 2020, there was a 31% increase in 12 to 17-year-old children who had to seek emergency assistance due to mental health crises. An estimated 31.9% of today’s young people experience some form of anxiety disorder, according to “Challenges of Mental-health Issues in High School Athletics” on the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) website.
Emotional well-being is important to any athlete’s success academically, athletically, socially, and spiritually. Untreated mental health problems result in undue suffering, diminished positive affect, and balance in life. We are on a quest to respond to the needs of student-athletes by building their emotional capacity to navigate both academics and athletics.
Your support will allow us to provide opportunities for student-athletes to strengthen their emotional disposition and improve their ability to ADAPT, COMMUNICATE, and LEAD in the 21st century.
