We are here to provide all student-athletes the opportunity to flourish through mental health and sport psychology services.
Our approach to serving student-athletes provides you the opportunity to choose an "in-house" athletic department psychologist or a campus or community provider that best fits your needs.
We focus on the overall well-being of all student-athletes. We understand that athletes are humans, and thus at many times may feel overwhelmed by the demands of being a Badger student-athlete. Our staff listens, provides support, guidance, and psychological treatment. We help educate student-athletes on the use of relaxations, visualization, and breathing techniques to maximize their personal, academic, and athletic performance.
Here are a few common reasons student-athletes come to us. Please remember this list is not exhaustive — and we can, and will, help you work through whatever concerns you have.

“We look forward to your time here as a Badger student-athlete and are committed to your overall health and well-being during your time here at Wisconsin!”
