Up To The Challenge
At Athletes United, we’re addressing The Game Within. We know that many athletes experience a wide variety of challenges throughout their athletic journey. Throughout time, there has been a highly disproportionate concentration on the physical side of that journey.
PARENTS & CARE-PARTNERS
Your athlete has intense academic pressure on top of increasingly rigorous training schedules that require meticulous planning and unwavering dedication. Your athlete has peer and family expectations that add layers of complexity. Social media and its omnipresent gaze, introduces a dimension of pressure that previous generations of athletes did not face.
Athletes United consists of a team approach towards holistic well-being. FOR athletes, WITH athletes, devoted professionals tend to the mental, social, educational and emotional needs of your athlete so they can reach their full potential. Familiar with athletic demands themselves, the Athletes United personnel mission extends beyond the scoreboard, focussed on fostering resilience, emotional intelligence, and self-care within the community.
PRACTITIONERS
Athletes United’s intention is for its professional care providers and registered practitioners to have various, intricate levels of experiences in athletics. In order to ensure the nuanced understanding of the complex pressures athletes face, spanning from recreational levels to the pinnacle of Olympic or Professional competition that we promise, we’re looking for practitioners to provide tailored, empathetic support that transcends conventional approaches by addressing the multifaceted challenges athletes encounter throughout their journey.
The success of Athletes United depends on an integrated web of dedicated, passionate personnel. The registered practitioners who make up the eventual team are integral to our mission of prioritizing mental health as the key component of athletic development.
INVESTORS
Our Athletes United Management Team, investors, registered practitioners and sponsors will unite to smash that stigma and honour the fact that athletic performance is directly impacted by such factors as time demands, parental pressure, leaving home at an early age, peer pressures, difficulties with developing friendships/relationships, financial hardships, lacking family support, injuries and chronic health conditions.
Athletes United presents a unique business model by establishing community-based communication channels for all athletes, with professionals who have walked the talk. By employing individuals with a high athletic IQ, Athletes United brand will address mental health, injury support, career transitions, social adjustment, parental guidance, job placement, educational support and substance abuse.

Testimonials
My son plays competitive soccer and last season was extremely challenging mentally and physically. He struggled with anger and anxiety to the point at times I would find myself waiting by the car instead of the sidelines after a game so his team mates and parents wouldn’t see the emotional breakdown that was going to happen as soon as he saw me.
We have had two sessions with Mason thus far and the change I see in my son is outstanding. My son has not had an after game meltdown since starting with Athletes United, his overall composure on the field is amazing to watch and his efforts while playing are endless.
My son takes the challenges Mason gives him seriously after each session and enjoys meeting with him. The takeaways from each session are practiced willingly by my son and its like watching a completely different kid play the sport he loves.
For all those sports parents who think their child is not loving the game that they once did because of barriers beyond their control, I highly recommend (Mason) and Athletes United.
Thank you, Mason, and Athletes United for all you do!”
