🧠 Did you know?

Across 41 studies of college student-athletes, training load and academic pressure were the two most common sources of stress.

Training load was reported in 68% of studies, while academic pressure was reported in 61%.

— Frontiers in Psychology, 2025

College student-athletes are managing demands both in their sport and in the classroom. Recognizing both sources of stress is an important part of supporting their mental health.

Resilience Reframe 👇

“Why can’t I settle the ball today?” ❌

➡️ “That was a heavy touch. The next one can still be clean.”

One heavy touch does not define your game.

What you do next still matters.

Reset and be ready for the next ball.

Tip from a Pro: Morgan Hackworth ⚽

Learn from emotional setbacks.

Mistakes and emotional reactions are opportunities to grow:

⚽ Reflect on moments when you lose your temper
⚽ Develop strategies to stay calm under pressure
⚽ Commit to making better decisions in the future

Learning from difficult moments can help you respond more effectively the next time.

Myth or Fact 👇

“Most NCAA student-athletes who know where to find mental health support on campus also feel comfortable asking for help.”

Myth.

While about two-thirds of student-athletes said they know where to go for mental health concerns, only 47% said they would feel comfortable personally seeking support from a campus mental health provider.

Knowing where help is available is not the same as feeling comfortable using it.

We can all help reduce the stigma by making it normal to talk about challenges, ask for support, and use available resources.

Coaches—how you structure training shapes performance 👇

⚽ Refocus between exercises
Teach players to mentally reset before every new exercise instead of carrying mistakes forward.

⚽ Set a challenge of the week
Give the team one resilience challenge—communication, composure, or response—to emphasize all week.

⚽ Build body language awareness
Use film or reflection moments to help players recognize how their body language impacts teammates.

That’s how resilient teams are built.

🧠 Mental resilience is not feeling confident all the time.

It is taking the next right action even when confidence feels shaky.

That’s the skill players build over time.

💬 “The pain you feel today will be the strength you feel tomorrow.”

— Stephen Richards

Difficult moments can become part of your growth.

Keep going. What challenges you today can help strengthen you for tomorrow.

Small habit that builds resilience 👇

The habit: Set one process goal the night before a game.

What to do:
Choose one controllable focus for the game.

Examples:

• Challenge headers
• Make runs
• Disrupt passing lanes

Why it helps:
Process goals keep your attention on what you can control instead of worrying about results.

Small, repeatable habits build mental resilience. ⚽

Parents—how you respond after practices and games shapes how your player responds 👇

⚽ Reinforce the reset mindset
Remind them that one mistake does not define the rest of practice or the game.

⚽ Create a car ride home plan
Ask whether they want feedback, encouragement, quiet time, or space to decompress before talking about the game.

⚽ Praise composure
Notice the moments they stayed steady after mistakes or pressure.

That’s how resilience is built over time.
