About GOAT Mentality
Recognizing a trend amongst their student peers and teammates facing constant pressure to perform at an extremely high-level, the GOAT Mentality team decided to do something about it by raising awareness about high school student athlete mental health! With significant attention being paid to the overall mental health and well-being of college athletes, there is little focus on high school athletes. It’s the motivation behind GOAT Mentality mission of creating a platform to address this issue — providing curriculum, first-hand student interviews, coaches’ expertise, and an open forum to raise awareness and address this important mental health issue.
Student-Athlete & Coach Interviews
We regularly interview high school student-athletes and coaches on the various issues athletes face including performance anxiety, athlete-coach relationships, team bonding, and many more all dedicated to providing insights and advice for fellow student-athletes and coaches.
Mental Health Curriculum
We are dedicated to providing concrete resources and advice on how to tackle common student-athlete mental health challenges such as performance anxiety, burnout, and workload stress. In order to do so, we have launched a curriculum with short videos dedicated to each mental health concern with targeted advice from coaches, athletes, and sports psychologists on how to tackle these issues.
