When we harness the power inside of ourselves,
WE SOAR.
We set ourselves free to live our dreams.
And. The path is far from linear.
We will fall. We will feel. We will face fear. And self-doubt.
The noise will get loud. Inside our minds. And out there.
We may not be able to control what challenges are thrown our way.
But, we can always control how we respond.
IT’S TIME
To develop the skills, supports + tools to help you RISE.
To let go of your limiting beliefs.
To positively cope with challenges + struggle.
To step into your light.
TO CULTIVATE GREATNESS AND FULFILLMENT
By honoring the whole athlete.
The WAI
The Whole Athlete Initiative (the WAI) is a holistic approach to cultivating high-performance that honors the development of the WHOLE student-athlete, mind, body and soul, by providing pillars of support to individuals, teams and organizations that elevate mental health and improve performance.
PILLARS OF SUPPORT
Mindfulness
Mental Performance
Emotional Agility/ Resilience Building
Student-athlete Wellness
Mental Health Education
THE WAI VIRTUAL TEAM ROOM
The Virtual Team Room (the VTR) will be the home base for interactive high-performance coaching and mindfulness skill building. It will be a safe place for student-athletes to share, connect, recharge, expand their skills, dive deeper and ask questions.
The purpose of this group space is to help athletes identify, develop and strengthen the support, skills and tools needed to positively cope with pressure, stress and other hard things so they can:
optimize performance // increase access to flow state
rise after a fall // positively cope with struggle + challenges // release the grip of perfectionism
enjoy the sport they love // decrease stress, rumination, performance anxiety + burnout
navigate feedback // cultivate ownership over actions // improve relationships: athlete:athlete + athlete:coach + coach:coach
increase self-awareness // clear blocks // develop self-trust // increase confidence
