Movember MindMoves is a first-of-its-kind mental health literacy program for college athletes in the US. Created by Movember and developed with student-athletes from universities across the country, the free online program helps athletes recognise the signs of mental health challenges, understand why speaking up matters, and build the confidence to seek support when they need it.

Train your mind like you train your body.

Why MindMoves

College athletes are trained to win. They can sprint, catch, throw and swing like the pros. But between training, competition, classes, friendships and, now, name, image and likeness brand deals, it's easy to forget the mind needs training too.

That pressure adds up. 1 in 4 athletes report elevated anxiety symptoms, and 1 in 5 report elevated symptoms of depression. Yet when Movember surveyed 770 student-athletes, we found many hold back from seeking help, largely because of the stigma around mental health.

MindMoves meets athletes where they already are, with a program that speaks their language: performance, preparation and teamwork.

Who it's for

STUDENT-ATHLETES

College athletes balancing sport, study and life. To learn practical ways to manage stress and performance pressure, build resilience, and recognize when it's time to reach out.

TEAMMATES

Every athlete is part of a team. To learn how to spot the signs that a teammate is struggling, start an open conversation, and help create a locker room where talking about mental health is normal.

What athletes learn

MindMoves is a series of short, interactive online courses presented by athletes and experts who've been there. Athletes get video content and downloadable resources, so support is always within reach. Topics include:

  • Managing stress, from performance anxiety to academic pressure
  • Recognizing signs of mental health challenges in yourself and others
  • Why speaking up matters, and how to do it
  • Building confidence to seek help and support
  • Finding balance through passions and interests outside of sport

Movember supports all individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual. Health disparities exist, with LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing higher rates of mental health issues and discrimination, often exacerbated by stigma in healthcare. We advocate for the right to self-identify, protection from discrimination, inclusive education, and rights-affirming healthcare, ensuring everyone can lead a healthy, dignified life.

Movember acknowledge the many and varied experiences of people navigating their health and wellbeing, those who support them and those who came before us whose stories, struggles and strength have shaped what we know. We recognise those who have generously shared their knowledge and wisdom with us and honour those we have lost too soon. Their knowledge, insight and expertise are essential to improving the design, delivery and evaluation of the work that we do and their experiences remind us why this work matters.
