Center for Athlete Well-Being

What we Do

The Center for Athlete Well-Being brings together university expertise and community partnerships to support the well-being and success of people who perform in demanding environments. We work with athletes of all ages and levels of competition (including esport athletes), performing artists and musicians, tactical athletes, first responders, and the families, organizations, and communities that support them. 

We turn research and professional expertise into practical resources, programs, training, and solutions that make a meaningful difference. Whether we are helping an organization address an emerging need, developing educational programs, providing training, or evaluating what works, our goal is simple: to help people perform, thrive, and live well.
