Hello! I'm Dr. Mel Fierstine, educator, mental health clinician, and MindFit CEO. As a Clinical Social Worker, community builder, athletic coach, and fitness enthusiast for over two decades, I'm passionate about providing mental wellness services in the sport and fitness communities.

As athletes, our primary focus tends to be on physical performance. We often overlook the impact mental health has on our overall well-being. I'm here to change that.

My role is to help you to recognize and reinforce your unique strengths so you can develop a healthy mindset, a strong sense of self, and a community of support to enhance and protect your mental wellness just as you do your physical wellness.

Whether you are working to build your mental, social, or emotional physique, we can team up to reach your overall goals.

A nurturing and understanding coach can inspire confidence, stress management, and resilience in athletes, fostering positive mental health outcomes.

Conversely, coaches who are overly demanding or lack empathy may contribute to stress, anxiety, and performance-related mental health issues among athletes. It underscores the vital role coaches play in the mental health journey of their athletes.

Coaches, let’s prioritize the mental well-being of athletes, nurture their confidence, and provide a supportive environment.

Together, we can create a sports culture where not only victory matters, but mental health and overall well-being takes center stage.🏆🥇
