Supporting the whole player, not just the athlete
At Hawks FC, mental wellbeing is essential to keeping girls in the game and supporting our players as individuals—not just in sport, but in life. Confidence, resilience, and emotional support are just as important as technical development. We create environments where girls feel safe to grow, take risks, and be themselves.
What mental wellbeing means to us
Mental wellbeing means equipping players with the tools to handle pressure, build confidence, and navigate challenges in sport and life. We focus on creating healthy team cultures that prioritize growth over perfection and support girls as whole people.
We’re intentional about supporting mental wellbeing by:
- Fostering positive, supportive team environments
- Teaching girls how to manage pressure and respond to mistakes
- Building confidence through leadership and communication
- Encouraging healthy self-talk, resilience, and balance
- Providing consistent support from coaches who value mental health
