Press Release:
US Sports Camps, the official provider of Nike Sports Camps, partners with Evolve1 to provide Mental Training for Youth Athletes.
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., October 10, 2024 -- US Sports Camps, the largest sports camp network in North America and licensed provider of Nike Sports Camps, announced a new partnership with Evolve1—an innovative program dedicated to providing mental training for youth athletes. This collaboration will introduce the 30-day Evolve1 Mental Training Program, an app-based initiative designed to empower young athletes to excel both on and off the field.
The Evolve1 program helps athletes develop essential mental skills, including goal setting, imagery, self-talk, resilience, and focus. In addition to physical conditioning, these skills are crucial for enhancing self-esteem and confidence, ultimately leading to improved athletic performance.
The Evolve1 Mental Training Program will be available to campers across the United States, ensuring that young athletes have access to comprehensive training that supports both physical and mental conditioning. “For many USSC past campers, this will be their first opportunity to work on the mental side of their sports development,” said Brendan Doyle, President at US Sports Camps. “We’ve partnered with Evolve1 to continue our aim to provide best in class camp products.”
This program is designed to provide young athletes (13+ years old) with short, 90-second daily videos designed to fit into any athlete’s busy schedule. Each day, athletes receive a new video lesson that builds their mental toolkit, helping them stay motivated, confident, and ready to take on any challenge.
“We’re thrilled about this partnership as it's a positive step in keeping the well-being of our athletes a priority,” said Toni Owens, CEO of Evolve1. “98% of surveyed youth soccer athletes ages 12-18 reported they wanted help on their mental game. 92% preferred to receive the training in an app on their own time. It’s time to focus on the whole athlete and strengthen the mental muscle in our youth.”
