The sports mindset agency, Soccer Resilience®, and the Players Association of the world’s top league, the NWSLPA, share a passion for advancing women’s soccer. A connected aspiration is to educate, engage, and support. And a mutual vision is to transform the mindset and wellbeing of athletes, coaches, and others in the game.
Soccer Resilience® and the NWSLPA share a commitment to holistic wellness and personal development. This objective strengthens player growth and societal impact with access to resources, increased opportunity, and gender equity. The partnership will promote the importance of mental health and mindset training throughout the NWSL ecosystem. Soccer Resilience® content, tips, tools and strategies will be shared on the NWSLPA communication channels and platforms.
Soccer Resilience® staff will be available to work 1:1 with NWSL athletes and full teams. Plus round table sessions will be hosted by Soccer Resilience® in conjunction with the NWSLPA for all NWSL members to willingly engage in vulnerable and authentic conversations around mental health collectively.
The players can learn, open up and collaborate together for awareness and self-confidence. And we can constructively influence the women’s game and create a ripple through society.

“The Players Association places a high priority on mental health. This partnership with Soccer Resilience® enables us to achieve two important objectives: normalizing discussion of mental health and fostering the mental well-being of our players. At the heart of this relationship is the mission of the NWSLPA to continue the development of professional women’s soccer for current players and future generations.”
Cari Roccaro (NC Courage Midfielder, Soccer Resilience® Ambassador + the Co-Host of Butterfly Road podcast)
“It’s incredibly important for NWSL players to have the resources available to them to help improve their mental game. Being a women’s professional soccer player in one of the top leagues in the world is incredibly demanding physically and mentally, and at times I think players neglect the mental side of their game due to lack of resources and tools. Soccer Resilience® will be crucial in providing players with the resources, coaches, and exercises to help them be the best players they can be. Undoubtedly improving the growth and future of the league. So often I see and hear of players in the NWSL struggling mentally without ever getting help. They don’t know where to go. They don’t have the means to pay for it. And they’re reluctant to ask for much assistance from others because they don’t want to appear to be weaker than their teammates. Soccer Resilience® will help eliminate these hurdles for players and allow them to play the game they love with more confidence, freedom, and joy. I don’t have the words to express how necessary this partnership is for the strong, talented, and inspiring women in this league – they deserve it more than anyone!”
NWSLPA: We vow to build on the opportunity that has been afforded to us, as well as work to achieve these goals that have not yet been attained. We honor the vision and progress of those who came before us and pledge to work with the League and Players to advance continued improvements in women’s soccer. In committing ourselves to doing all in our power for the betterment of our members, we strive towards the continued common goal: a world-class product on the field, and to be role models that inspire the next generation off the field.
Soccer Resilience®: Our mission and skill is to train the most underutilized competitive edge in soccer, the MIND, transforming the mindset, performance and wellbeing of athletes, coaches and parents. We help the “software” (mental) bring the best out of the “hardware” (technical, tactical, physical). We are mindset coaches, mental game advisors and content providers for tools and strategies for all levels, youth to pro. Train your brain. Transform your game.
