ABOUT US

The team at Human B4 Athlete works tirelessly for all athletes to know and value themselves beyond the sport they play, and to be equipped for the long life they will live after they are done playing their sport. 

In the high-pressure world of sports, athletes are pushed to their physical limits, often neglecting the most crucial aspect of their performance: their mental health. At Human B4 Athlete, we believe in prioritizing the person before the athlete.

Our mission is simple: "To guide athletes around the world along the self discovery journey by showing them how to value themselves as HUMAN B4 ATHLETE." Here’s how we’re making a difference:

School and Team Consulting: We design and implement bespoke events and programs that support athletes' mental well-being. Our services include strategic advertising to promote mental health, guidance for aspiring professional athletes, and collaborative sessions with coaches to ensure alignment on mental health strategies.

Workshops: Our workshops focus on developing healthy habits, shifting perspectives, and introducing practical tools for tracking progress. These sessions equip athletes with the necessary skills to maintain their mental well-being and enhance their performance.

Mentoring: We provide monthly online face-to-face check-ins, offering personalized advice and homework assignments to reinforce learning and growth. This consistent, empathetic support helps athletes stay on track and develop resilience.

What sets us apart is the depth of our understanding and the breadth of our experience. We are not just offering a service; we are sharing a journey grounded in real-life experiences, helping athletes discover their true purpose beyond sports.
