Welcome to the Heroic Minds Athlete Group
A group of athletes that support & motivate fellow athletes (current and retired.)

Whether you're scoring goals, smashing records, or aiming for victory in other parts of life,
know that you've got a team backing you every step of the way.

And, there's more: we're not just about winning trophies (though we do love celebrating success). We are also on a mission to make the world a better place.
Whether it's helping out in our communities or making an impact in our own homes, we encourage using our athlete powers for good.

So, if you're ready to team up with like-minded athletes, that love becoming even more dangerous versions of themselves,
lace up those sneakers and get involved.

Program Lead: Ben Fanelli

As a psychotherapist for high-performing athletes globally, I've observed that those who balance responsibilities and competencies beyond athletics have greater success in sport and life, showcasing remarkable emotional intelligence, organizational prowess, communication skills, problem-solving ability, and leadership skills. Our program is tailored to support such multifaceted development.

Monthly Impact

One act of service each month.

This could range from something as simple as waking up early to prepare breakfast for a loved one to something as significant as volunteering with a local organization. We encourage you to document or photograph these acts, as they will be featured on a future social media page aimed at inspiring both current and prospective members.
