Build Mental Toughness and Strengthen Team Connection.
After years of research with youth athlete development experts, sports clubs, and coaches like you, WeYouth created Mental Performance Connection Coaching (MPCC) — a science-informed, seasonal program designed specifically for youth and young adult athletes.
It works. And it's built to scale.
How Teams Invest in This
Most teams already pay $50–$150 per athlete for spirit packs, equipment, travel, and boosters.
Mental performance and connection development is the next natural investment — and often the most important one.

Athletes Are Struggling — And we Address the Why
70% of youth quit sports by age 13. The main reasons? Pressure. Lack of fun. Fear of mistakes.
You see it every day: Athletes who tense up in big moments. Players who dwell on errors. Team culture that's fractured instead of connected. Talent that never reaches its potential — not because athletes lack skill, but because they lack the mental tools to handle the game.
Here's what's really happening:
Youth today spend 50% less time in face-to-face interaction than they did 20 years ago. More than half of teen girls report persistent sadness and hopelessness. 30% of young adults feel lonely several times a week.
This isn't just a sports problem. It's a disconnection crisis — and sports teams feel it acutely.
Meanwhile, 62% of coaches say they lack tools to support athlete mental wellbeing. You care about your athletes. You want to help. But you weren't trained for this.
Parents want to help too — but most accidentally add pressure instead of support.
The Research Is Clear: Close, meaningful relationships are the single most powerful predictor of wellbeing for young people — far outweighing wealth, status, or achievement.
(Harvard Study of Adult Development)
Why This Works — And Why It's Different
This isn't just another program. Here's what makes it unique — and why it actually works.
What's Missing
The gap is huge: 7.9M+ high school athletes across ~25,000 programs — and almost NO holistic programs reach them consistently.
Coaches need support: 62% lack tools for athlete mental wellbeing. They see the struggles but don't know how to help.
Existing solutions fall short:
❌ One-time events (no lasting change)
❌ Performance-only (ignores relationships)
❌ Individual-focused (ignores team, coaches, parents)
The WeYouth Advantage
✓ Connection-first approach
We address the root cause: disconnection.
✓ The ONLY whole-team program
Athletes, captains, coaches, AND parents in one system.
✓ Evidence-backed design
Built on Social Learning Theory, Self-Determination Theory, Harvard research.
What Your Team Will Gain
This isn't just about winning more games (though that often happens). It's about building skills that transfer to school, work, relationships, and life.
On the Field
✓ Greater focus and composure under pressure
No more freezing in big moments. Athletes learn to stay present and execute.
✓ Faster recovery from mistakes
Less dwelling. More action. Athletes reset quickly and move forward.
✓ Stronger coachability
Athletes become open to feedback, willing to grow, and adaptable to change.
✓ Better emotional regulation
Athletes learn to manage frustration, anxiety, and disappointment — in games and in life.
✓ Higher retention and enjoyment
Athletes stick with sports longer because they actually enjoy the process.
✓ Skills that transfer everywhere
School. Work. Relationships. Family. These aren't just sports skills — they're life skills.
In the Culture
✓ Improved team cohesion and trust
You can feel the difference. Communication improves. Conflict decreases.
✓ Deep connection and belonging
Athletes feel seen, valued, and part of something bigger than themselves.
✓ Identity beyond sport
Athletes develop a sense of self that isn't just tied to winning or performance.
✓ Reduced conflict between athletes, coaches, and parents
Everyone's aligned. Everyone's speaking the same language.
✓ Parents equipped to support — not pressure
They learn how to help without hovering, celebrate without comparing.
✓ Coaches who model healthy leadership
Athletes remember coaches who cared about them as people. Be that coach.

Trusted by Youth Sports Leaders
Don't take our word for it. Here's what coaches and sports leaders are saying:
“The WeYouth model is the most impactful approach I’ve seen for mental development in young athletes. It helps helps them become more balanced as athletes and balance is critical to flow state. When they are out of balance it impacts performance — end of story.”
— Matt Schneck (Head Coach BYU Men’s Lacrosse, repeat national champion)
“I’ve seen firsthand that mental skills, connection, and relationship coaching are among the most impactful—and most overlooked—areas of player development. Coaches at every level work tirelessly to support their players, yet very few are ever formally trained to intentionally develop communication, emotional regulation, leadership, and relationship skills. When challenges show up within a team environment, it’s often difficult to identify the root cause, and these areas end up being addressed informally or only after problems arise. When this missing piece is approached in a structured and intentional way, the difference is immediately noticeable. Players communicate more clearly, connect more deeply with teammates and coaches, and are better equipped to manage pressure, mistakes, and adversity on the field.”
—Lee Davis (club director/consultant, former Director of Coaching of Utah Youth Soccer Association)
“We’ve seen instant impact on team performance right after mental performance connection coaching. ”

the outcomes
“Over time, this work leads to meaningful performance gains and, just as importantly, a far better overall experience for players and families. Athletes grow more confident, resilient, and accountable, which strengthens team culture and encourages positive peer leadership. Parents consistently see improvements in how their children handle setbacks, relate to others, and enjoy the game. Traditionally, sports coaching focuses on only certain elements of player development. When mental skills, connection, and relationship coaching are added, the development process becomes truly holistic—supporting not just better players, but better people.”
—Lee Davis (club director/consultant, former Director of Coaching of Utah Youth Soccer Association)
