WE Play
Mentally Fit
To address the social emotional issues our athletes may be experiencing, We Play has teamed up with some of the best licensed therapists in our area to create a curriculum for our student athletes. We understand that sports can bring out the best and worst in student athletes, however, we aim to maximize the best outcomes and eliminate the worst outcomes. To accomplish this goal, therapists will work with the school officials to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space for athletes to focus on their mental well-being.
​
Our therapists ultimately can help athletes:
-
Enhance performance. Various mental strategies, such as visualization, self-talk and relaxation techniques, can help athletes overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential.
-
Cope with the pressures of competition. Our therapists can help athletes at all levels deal with pressure from parents, coaches, or even their own expectations.
-
Recover from injuries. After an injury, athletes may need help tolerating pain, adhering to their physical therapy regimens, or adjusting mentally to being sidelined.
-
Keep up an exercise program. Even those who want to exercise regularly may find themselves unable to fulfill their goal. Therapists can help these individuals increase their motivation and tackle any related concerns.
-
Enjoy sports. Therapists want to educate coaches about how to help kids enjoy sports and how to promote healthy self-esteem in participants.
