With recent and unprecedented levels of mental health challenges facing young adults in this post-pandemic world, a growing number of voices have built on the connection between sport and life, advocating that sports can be protective, safe and supportive environments for young adults who are experiencing mental health challenges.
Unlike most of our competitors in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, Regis does not have a sports psychologist on campus. Our coaches and athletes must find mental training support resources off campus, which is both impractical and expensive. Most of our athletes do not have access to meaningful psychological support within the context of athletics. This project aims to reverse this present situation.
The purpose of the Mindset Lab at Regis is to leverage the athletic experience as a conduit for mental health support in two fundamental ways--to share mental skills and psychological strategies with Regis student-athletes that will help them achieve exceptional athletic performance in competition, while also supporting their self-awareness and resilience in the face of life-challenges that they experience out of sports.
We seek funding for the development and delivery of curriculum for 250 Regis student athletes across all 12 sports within Regis Athletics. Designed as an opt-in, voluntary seminar experience across both academic semesters, twice-monthly meetings will be provided for Regis athletes where they will be exposed to a wide array of mental skills, specialized and sport-specific psychological performance tools, guest speakers and other sport psychology resources. The intent of the program is to help them develop psychological power through the creation of a system that supports positive habits, leverages mindset and prepares them with personal habits and mental tools that provide readiness for, and during, those moments in which exceptional performance is required.
