Being a top athlete is more than just the physical; you need to take care of your mental and emotional needs as well. At Blend, we combine mental health and mental performance into a unified approach. To round out your training, it may be time to seek the help of a mental fitness coach. Our mental health coaches for professional athletes can help you hone your emotional skills just like the S&C and Training Staff can help you perfect your physical form.
The work that our mental health coaches do with professional athletes is highly customized. Many people assume that the mental health resources readily available to professional athletes are strong. At Blend, due to 20+ years as professional sports insiders, we know that this isn’t accurate. We know that professional athletes shockingly do not have strong access to mental health coaches and training. We are here to customize the right package that meets the needs of your demanding schedule and lifestyle as a professional athlete.
For the same reasons that you seek out experts to help you train your body and your physical skills as you work to achieve your dreams as a pro athlete, you should also seek out experts to help you train your mind. Our coaches focus on building a deep awareness and education first—because true mental performance starts with a strong mental health foundation. Our skilled mental health coaches are here to help you train your mind to be just as resilient as you have trained your body to be.
In your quest to be at the top of your game, you will find yourself facing many different challenges. Some of them may seem minor, but a mental health coach can make sure they do not slow you down along your journey to success. These sessions are highly customizable and meet you where you are—virtually or in person.
You are often your own worst critic, and the pressure to succeed can become unbearable. This pressure, both from within and from society, can feel debilitating and lead to anxiety. Our mental health coaches for pro athletes are here to help you work through this pressure. With proactive tools like performance journaling and guided awareness-building, you can free yourself from this weight. Our coaches are here to help you grow—not just recover.
You are expected to be the best. As an athlete, everything you do is scrutinized not just by you and your coaches but by the fans in the stands and those who may watch you at home. Unrealistic expectations are an unfortunate but normal part of being a professional athlete. A mental fitness coach can help you put the expectations into perspective and ease the stress that they can cause, while thriving as an athlete and winning games. This process also supports your well-being off the field—in relationships and everyday life.
Your confidence allows you to perform at the highest levels, but sometimes that confidence gets shaken. Rather than waiting for self-doubt to creep in, our mental health coaches take a proactive approach—helping you develop the tools to reinforce your inner belief and strengthen your mindset. These mental fitness sessions help you build sustainable inner strength—not just short-term fixes.
Injury is inevitable when you put your body on the line to be the best. Recovering from injury can move beyond just the physical, however, and requires some self-reflection. A mental fitness coach can help guide you through the recovery process, helping your mind heal as your body does. Understanding your emotional response to setbacks is part of the education that enables high performance later on. An injury can be a major setback, but with help, it can become a growth opportunity from which you return stronger and more focused than ever before.
Our mental health coaches for professional athletes can help you reach your full potential. Blend has worked with world-class athletes and leading teams across the country—and offers the same level of care to you.
