Why Join?

✅ Weekly Check-Ins

Your athlete completes a 2-minute check-in each week to track core mental readiness factors like connection, pressure and focus.

✅ Strength-Based Feedback

Every check-in ends with powerful, confidence-building prompts to help them stay positive and  build wellness skills.

✅ Early Support System

If an athlete signals they need support, the program can alert you - with their permission - so you're never left in the dark.

✅ Parent Access + Focus Group

You'll be invited to a special Parent Focus Group in February, where you'll see what's working, what's next, and how we're shaping the future of mental wellness in youth sport - together.

Mental wellness isn't about fixing problems - it's about unlocking what's possible.

Today's athletes face more stress, more pressure, and more distractions than ever before. HONE provides the tools to build confident, resilient, and mentally ready athletes - with YOU as part of the journey.
