Mental Wellbeing at Hawks FC
At Hawks FC, we recognize that being an athlete goes far beyond the game. Young athletes—especially girls—are constantly navigating the pressure to perform, to grow, and to succeed, all while balancing school, friendships, family, and personal expectations.
We know how overwhelming that can be. That’s why mental wellbeing isn’t just a buzzword to us—it’s a core pillar of our program. We’re committed to creating a space where players can show up as their full selves, without needing to hide what they’re going through or who they’re becoming.
Through a blend of physical activity, mindset coaching, and honest conversation, our goal is to help our players build confidence, resilience, and the tools to face life’s challenges—starting from a young age. Because thriving on the field starts with feeling supported off of it.
How We Make It Happen
- Mindset coaching woven into team training sessions
- Guest speakers and workshops focused on wellness, identity, and self-care
- Team culture that encourages vulnerability, honesty, and peer support
- Coach and parent training to help model and reinforce mental wellbeing at every level
Because the goal isn’t just to develop better players—it’s to develop stronger, more self-assured young people.
