Mind in Sport Foundation empowers young athletes by providing equitable access to mental health education, resources, and mentorship. Through workshops, panels, and athlete-to-athlete support, we help student-athletes understand, manage, and overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, stress, and stigma around seeking help, ensuring that they thrive both on and off the field.
Mind in Sport was founded by Kasra Maghami during his freshman year of high school. Kasra had observed mental health adversity in sports for years, and realized that he was fortunate to have the privilege of having access to sports psychologists and therapists. He started Mind in Sport to make that same kind of support and education accessible to every young athlete, especially those who do not have the resources, connections, or comfort to ask for help, through panels, workshops, and athlete to athlete conversations that normalize mental health and teach practical tools for handling pressure, burnout, and confidence.
We envision a world where every young athlete has the tools, knowledge, and support to prioritize mental wellness alongside athletic achievement. By fostering resilience, self-awareness, and community, Mind in Sport seeks to transform the culture of youth sports so mental health is valued, accessible, and destigmatized for all athletes.
