At SportShift, we empower high-profile high school and college athletes to optimize their mental performance, resilience, and well-being. Through free, confidential counseling services, we help athletes navigate the pressures of competition while building lifelong skills for success on and off the field.

-
Individual counseling with licensed mental health professionals
-
Support for performance-related stress, anxiety, and burnout
-
Care during injury recovery, transitions, and identity development

How You Can Help
Your support makes access possible. Donations to SportShift directly fund no-cost counseling services for student-athletes who may otherwise be unable to receive care.

Every contribution helps expand access, strengthen well-being, and support athletes during some of the most demanding moments of their lives.
