The Whole Athete
Wellness for the Support System Behind the Athlete
Because when the support system is well, the athlete is sustained.
The overseas athlete does not live OR PERFORM, in isolation.
Behind every contract, relocation, and season is a network of people carrying emotional, logistical, spiritual, and relational weight.

The Whole Athlete exists to serve them.
Align • Release •Create
Support people are leaders—often without language, tools, or care for themselves.
That gap is where burnout, resentment, isolation, and emotional fatigue grow.
We intervene before that happens.
This Service Is For You If You Are…
-
A spouse or partner of an overseas professional athlete
-
A parent navigating life around contracts, travel, and uncertainty
-
A family member supporting from afar across time zones
-
The emotional anchor holding things together while someone else performs publicly
​
Recommendations are to package these in 8-12 sessions for an optimal gameplan.
“On and off the court, the genuine you is your strongest play. When you hear it, you stop performing for others and start building the game and life — you were designed to lead.”
