🎓 College athletics is exciting, intense, messy, hilarious, stressful and honestly, it's a whole adventure. Between classes, practices, lifts, travel days, homework, team expectations, and still trying to have some kind of social life, it’s easy for your mental health to slide to the bottom of the priority list.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀. 🏅
Student-athletes carry a unique weight: pressure to perform, the grind of recovery, academic demands, leadership roles, figuring out the future and the unspoken rule to “tough it out.” That’s why intentional support and access to mental wellness resources are so important.

Grow Sport Psychology is here to support you — no pressure, no judgment, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹. Our team of former, (and some current) athletes understand that pressure all too well. That's why we are here to support YOU in becoming the strongest, healthiest version of yourself on and off the field.

Between practices, classes, and everything else, finding time for yourself can be tough. With our flexible day and evening appointments, in-person or virtual, we make self-care doable — because you deserve it!

We were thrilled to partner with North Central College Athletics & the 𝗗𝘆𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 for their second “𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴” session of the semester — designed to support student athlete mental health and build a stronger sense of community on campus.

Nearly 100 student athletes joined us for an empowering hour: exploring sport psychology case studies, learning practical mental performance tools, and discovering resources for support on and off campus. This collaboration reinforces our shared commitment to belonging and the belief that mental-health education is performance preparation.

At Grow, we believe that mental health isn’t just a side conversation; it’s part of building stronger teams, communities, and lives. We’re grateful for the opportunity to equip athletes not just to compete—but to thrive.

Coaching is more than strategy; it’s emotional, mental, and invisible labor that shapes athletes’ performance and character. In our latest blog, we pull back the curtain on the unseen work of coaches:
• The planning, the workouts, the one-on-one conversations and mental load.
• The fatigue of bodies AND minds heading into off-season/pre-season/competition.
• The emotional investment in every athlete’s growth, resilience, character, not just performance.
• Why supporting coach wellbeing isn’t optional, it’s essential for the team.

We understand that coaches carry a unique mental and emotional load. Our team works with coaches to manage stress, maintain balance, and work on their own well-being throughout the season. Supporting those who support others is part of our mission, because when coaches thrive, teams do too. ‍

𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿.
Movember is more than just mustaches; it’s about 𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙥 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧. The campaign raises awareness for men’s mental health, su***de prevention, and cancer, and it encourages every man to take care of both mind and body.

Athletes and coaches, you’re strong, disciplined, and resilient — but strength also means knowing when to pause, reflect, and reach out for support. Check in, open up, and challenge the old idea that men should “tough it out” alone. Take a moment to show up for yourself, too.

Athletes and coaches are no strangers to stress. The constant pressure to perform, high expectations, long hours, and emotional ups and downs are part of the game.

But stress doesn’t have to mean burnout. Today on 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, take a moment to check in with yourself:
• Are you noticing signs of tension or fatigue?
• Are you taking time to recover mentally, not just physically?
• Are you offering yourself the same compassion you give to others?

At Grow Sport Psychology, we believe managing stress is part of training. We help athletes and coaches build healthy coping strategies, restore balance, and perform with clarity and confidence both on and off the field.
