JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Beyond the Playbook Foundation is building a movement where student-athletes never have to face mental health challenges alone.
Whether you are an athlete, parent, coach, mental health professional, former athlete, school, organization, or simply someone who believes in our mission, there is a place for you in this movement.
Together, we can change the conversation surrounding mental health in sports.
There are many ways to be part of the movement. Find the role that fits you and help us create a stronger culture of mental health in sports.
Student-Athletes
You don't have to wait until you're struggling to prioritize your mental health. Join a community that believes mental strength deserves the same attention as physical strength.
Student-athletes can:
Parents & Families
Parents and families play an important role in helping student-athletes recognize when they need support and reminding them that asking for help is a sign of strength.
You can join the movement by:
Coaches, Athletic Directors & Trainers
Coaches and athletic professionals are often among the first people to notice when something has changed with an athlete.
Your influence can help create an athletic culture where athletes know that their mental health matters just as much as their performance.
Join us by:
Mental Health Professionals
We welcome licensed mental health professionals who believe in increasing access to quality mental health support for student-athletes.
Opportunities may include:
Schools, Teams & Organizations
Real change happens when we work together.
Beyond the Playbook Foundation welcomes opportunities to collaborate with schools, athletic programs, universities, youth sports organizations, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, businesses, and community partners.
Partnership opportunities may include:
Become an Ambassador
Current and former athletes, coaches, sports professionals, influencers, community leaders, mental health advocates, and supporters can help us bring attention to student-athlete mental health.
Ambassadors can:
You don't need millions of followers to make an impact.
You just need a voice and a willingness to use it.
Become a volunteer
Your time and talents can help us reach more student-athletes.
We welcome individuals interested in supporting areas such as:
Tell us about your skills, interests, and availability, and we'll explore ways you can contribute.
Our Mission
Not everyone has time to volunteer — and that's okay.
You can still make an impact.
Donate, sponsor an initiative, share our resources, follow our social platforms, tell someone about the Foundation, or introduce us to a school, coach, athlete, organization, or mental health professional.
Every connection can help us reach another student-athlete.
READY TO JOIN?
Tell us how you'd like to get involved: student-athlete, parent, coach, mental health professional, volunteer, ambassador, partner, or supporter.
Provide some basic information about yourself, your interests, and how you'd like to contribute.
A member of the Beyond the Playbook Foundation team will review your information and contact you regarding appropriate opportunities and next steps.
Get involved in the way that works best for you — whether that's volunteering, advocating, partnering, donating, educating, referring athletes, or simply helping us spread the message.
CONNECT WITH US?
When we teach athletes to strengthen their bodies but ignore their minds, we’re leaving part of the athlete unsupported.
Together, we can build a sports culture where asking for help is normal, mental health is prioritized, and student-athletes know that their value extends far beyond their performance.
One athlete. One coach. One parent. One conversation at a time.
