Every athlete knows that showing up is just the beginning. The real work — the preparation, the strategy, the commitment — is what makes the difference between getting by and truly thriving.
At Go Thrive, we bring that same mindset to mental health. Whether you're a student athlete in the thick of it, a parent trying to help from the sidelines, or a coach building a program that takes the whole athlete seriously — we have a Game Plan for you.
All services are tailored to your situation. Reach out to start a conversation.
The Game Plan
Individual
Coaching Sessions
You've been carrying this long enough.
Individual coaching is the foundation of the Go Thrive approach. Over the course of ten one-hour sessions — scheduled twice a week — we build a personalized Game Plan around your story, your sport, and what's standing between you and your best self.
This isn't therapy, and it's not a lecture. It's a structured, judgment-free space where you can talk honestly about what's going on — anxiety, depression, pressure, substance use, identity, all of it — with a coach who has lived through it himself.
What to expect:
Session 1–2: Getting to know you — your sport, your history, and what's brought you here
Session 3–5: Identifying patterns, triggers, and what's working (and what isn't)
Session 6–8: Building practical coping strategies designed for athlete lifestyles
Session 9–10: Mapping out your next steps and long-term Game Plan
Best for:
Student athletes experiencing anxiety, depression, or burnout
Athletes navigating substance use or early recovery
Athletes in transition — injuries, end of season, identity shifts
Anyone who's been pushing through and needs a new approach
Team Presentation
Change what your team believes about mental health.
The stigma around mental health in athletics doesn't live in one person — it lives in the culture. And culture starts with the team.
Go Thrive's Team Presentation is an engaging, high-impact session designed for athletic teams of any size. Using real data, real stories, and real conversation, we break down the myths around mental health in sport and give athletes practical language and tools they can actually use.
This isn't a sit-and-listen presentation. It's a conversation — the kind athletes don't usually get to have.
What's covered:
The real numbers on student athlete mental health — and why they matter
Why athletes are less likely to seek help, and how to change that
How to recognize signs of struggle in yourself and your teammates
How to have the conversation — starting with yourself
Resources and next steps for anyone who's ready
Best for:
High school and college athletic teams
Club sports programs
Pre-season mental health education initiatives
Sports Assembly
Reach every athlete in the building.
The Sports Assembly is Go Thrive's large-group format — designed to reach an entire school community at once. Delivered with energy, honesty, and purpose, this session is built to cut through the noise and start real conversations about mental health in athletics.
The founder speaks directly from his own experience as a multi-sport athlete who struggled in silence for years. It's not a polished corporate talk — it's real, it's raw, and it lands.
What makes it different:
Personal storytelling that student athletes actually connect with
Data and research presented in a way that resonates — not lectures
A direct call to action for students, staff, and parents in the room
Optional Q&A to deepen the conversation
Best for:
Middle and high school all-athlete assemblies
Mental health awareness events and campaigns
Schools looking to address athletic culture and stigma school-wide
Kickoff events for new mental health programs or initiatives
Parent Consultation
You know something is wrong. You just don't know what to do next.
Watching your child struggle and not knowing how to help is one of the hardest things a parent can face — especially when every attempt to connect seems to push them further away.
The Parent Consultation is designed for exactly this moment. We help parents understand the unique pressures student athletes face, why asking for help feels impossible for so many of them, and most importantly — how to open the door without it slamming shut.
What we work through together:
Understanding the mental health landscape for student athletes
How to start the conversation — and what to avoid
Navigating resistance, denial, and the fear of stigma
When and how to involve professionals
How to support your athlete without taking over their journey
Best for:
Parents concerned about a child's mental health, substance use, or behavior changes
Families navigating a crisis or recent disclosure
Parents who want to be proactive before problems escalate
On Retainer
Make mental health part of your program's DNA.
Some schools, athletic programs, and organizations don't just want a one-time presentation — they want a long-term partner who helps them build a culture where mental health is taken seriously, year-round.
The Go Thrive retainer model is a flexible, ongoing arrangement designed to meet your program where it is and grow with it. Whether that means monthly check-ins with coaching staff, recurring workshops for athletes, availability for individual referrals, or all of the above — we build the arrangement around your needs.
What a retainer partnership can include:
Recurring team or group sessions throughout the season or school year
On-call coaching availability for athletes referred by staff or coaches
Consultation for coaching staff on recognizing and responding to mental health concerns
Parent education sessions and communications
Curriculum development for mental wellness programming
Year-end review and program recommendations
Best for:
High schools and colleges with active athletic departments
Club and travel sports organizations
Youth sports leagues building proactive wellness programs
Organizations that want consistent, embedded mental health support
