Objectives

1 in 4 suffer with mental ill health, and sport is well-placed to make a positive difference. However, 75% of young people engaged in sport experience emotionally harmful treatment (NSPCC). Sport is failing to live up to its potential as a tool to improve the mental health crisis of our time. We revolutionize athlete development to unleash the positive power of sport.

Activities

We improve athletic performance, nurture mental health, and cultivate a more compassionate society. We do this by delivering mindfulness-based, socially-conscious programs for coaches and athletes of all sports, and at all levels, from grassroots to Olympians.

We deliver coach training workshops, mindfulness classes for athletes, a schools programme, and a mentoring programme.
