Athlete Wellness

You are a person before you are a performer

Sports can build community and purpose, but your wellbeing matters beyond scores, minutes, selection, and results.

STEP 01 / 05

Separate identity from performance

A difficult game does not define your worth.

Try this: Write three qualities you value about yourself outside sport.

STEP 02 / 05

Plan recovery as training

Sleep, rest, food, and recovery support both health and performance.

Try this: Identify one recovery habit you can protect this week.

STEP 03 / 05

Talk about pressure

Coaches, teammates, academics, and expectations can create stress.

Try this: Name one pressure and one trusted person to discuss it with.

STEP 04 / 05

Prepare for setbacks

Injuries, limited playing time, and losses may affect confidence and mood.

Try this: Write one supportive response to a setback.

STEP 05 / 05

Build a life beyond sport

Relationships, education, hobbies, and future goals matter too.

Try this: Spend time on one interest unrelated to your sport.
