Sports are more than physical, which is why we believe mental health is a crucial part of being a successful student athlete. This Student Athlete Mental Health Week, we further the mission to make mental health a priority on 200+ campuses — because every single athlete’s #MentalHealthMatters. To those who may be struggling, #YouAreNotAlone. ❤️❤️❤️

Tomorrow we kick off our fifth Student Athlete Mental Health Week with 209 colleges and universities (252 including clubs and high schools) participating! Because of our Tyler, the Hilinski’s Hope journey started in football. We’ve been honored to watch all of our participating schools, families, friends, and communities make this week into something so much greater. This week has grown over the past five years to include all sports— and will impact an estimated 85,000 student athletes involved across 20+ sports and all 50 states. Hundreds of schools are offering resources to student athletes, holding discussions on mental health, and furthering a culture of vulnerability and community where their #MentalHealthMatters. While we might take opposing sides on the field, this week all of us will stand together. This week we state a unified message to our student athletes across the nation — #YouAreNotAlone.
