Addressing Mental Health issues and inactivity among young people using the power of sports and positive mindset building.
Our vision is to create a world where young people feel good, embrace opportunities, and actively participate in sports, with sports serving as a means to promote mental health and an active lifestyle.
Mind Power is developing inspiring programs that empower individuals to become the best version of themselves. We are dedicated to promoting positive life experiences through sports, especially for young individuals facing rising mental health challenges. Mind Power offers inspiring programs designed to build confidence, discover strengths, and foster overall well-being. Participants engage in multi-sport adventures, connect with peers, and work in a practical way on aspects like self-image, motivation, goal-setting, and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Through these initiatives, Mind Power aims to create a world where young people embrace life's challenges with positivity and enjoy the benefits of being active.
The sessions are all about moving, having fun, making new connections, getting to know yourself and developing a positive mind set.
Every program starts with moving. Through a multi-sport adventure, participants can find out in which way they like to exercise/sport. This multi-sport adventure is in collaboration with local sports clubs/associations and organizations.
After every sports moment it is time for a good chat. Each chat focuses on a sub theme in this way the participants develop a positive mind through very practical tools.
Mind Power also focuses on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
