Educating, empowering, and mentoring aspiring college athletes through mental skills training.
MENTORSHIP

This platform allows seasoned student-athletes to mentor and guide younger athletes by sharing their life experiences and complimenting our structured Better Together Mental Health Literacy and Leadership programming. Mentorship involves a combination of clinician-facilitated topic-specific group sessions and four (4) one-on-one virtual Zoom sessions with a designated Better Together Mentor. The mentor and the mentee will engage around the Better Together course content at their own set agreed-upon times. Mentors will be compensated for all sessions.
TEAMS & CLUBS
Better Together provides customizable programming to support athletes’ mental health and well-being throughout your athlete's development. We aim to optimize the processes of wellness, balance, success, and happiness. We provide each athlete with a current or former college athlete who will support, inspire, and mentor your athletes. While you improve your athlete’s athletic skills, we improve your athlete’s mental skills. Our curriculum and practical tools will help each athlete find the best version of themselves.

About Our Peer Mentor Meetings
Between each session, athletes meet with their designated mentor to reflect on what they have learned. Mentors build a vital relationship with their athletes by answering questions and sharing their own experiences.
Our mentors are trained to ask important questions and foster nurturing relationships with their athletes as they pursue their goals in and out of sport.

Better Together is a supportive community among athletes of all stages and abilities utilizing the power of connection through mentoring. Relationship building is at the core of our mission. We believe that all aspects of life improve when athletes have a mentor and community of support to guide them in pursuit of their goals. We achieve and experience more together than as one. Better Together is a collective of current and former student-athletes working alongside each other to build and foster a community of support for generations to come.
