Our Story
Since its inception in 2020, Finish Line Mindset has supported hundreds of individual athletes and collaborated with dozens of schools, travel teams, and athletic programs to strengthen mental performance, identity, and well-being. Our founder has delivered impactful workshops and keynotes on athlete mental health, resilience, and confidence, and has been featured on several podcasts as a guest expert. Every service we offer is rooted in our mission to empower athletes, especially those from underrepresented communities, to thrive beyond performance.
As sport social workers, we bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and cultural understanding of the athletic experience. Social workers are trained to look at the whole person, mental health, identity, environment, and systems of support, which is essential when working with athletes navigating pressure, performance, and life transitions. Sport social workers are uniquely skilled at unraveling these layers and helping the athlete tune into details to enhance their wellbeing and of course, their mental game.
