MindMoves

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
