Clubs, teams, college, NGBs, non-profits, and professional organizations
There is no better place to practice bravery than with your teammates.Â
Sports require fear management — for constant improvement and for performing under pressure.
Brave enhances competitive environments by giving athletes of all levels the chance to learn, practice, and execute skills and drills they’ve likely never tried before. Experiencing this work as a team strengthens connection, sharpens focus, and amplifies collective confidence.
Athletes love this stuff
We can make it fun, intense, or both. Our work is rooted in the Underdog Mindset, and each session focuses on building mental performance tools athletes can use in their sport — and in their life.

Brave programming HITS with teams looking for a powerful bonding experience, with athletes who want more guidance and practice managing performance under pressure, and with departments or organizations aiming to foster camaraderie and pride.
Many organizations partner with Brave for our Signature Session and also license additional mental skills and performance programming to embed into the experience they offer their athletes.
Brave delivered our signature session to the Under Armour Next All-America Women’s Volleyball players—an elite group of the rising college athletes—to build their bravery and prepare them for the demands of high-level collegiate play. Each athlete also received Brave’s reflective journal, 1 Way To Be Brave, to support continued confidence development.
Brave delivered an activation for current and retired NFL players at the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) Annual Summit, challenging them to think about life and leadership beyond the playing field.
Brave prepared high school basketball players from all five boroughs of NYC for a workout with a Nike Master Trainer. Through a tailored physical, emotional, and mental warm-up, athletes were ready for the challenge of a rigorous session.
USA Swimming hosted Brave for two high-energy, high-impact virtual Brave Sessions with 400+ participants each, where young athletes reflected, connected through their screens and keyboards, and practiced taking brave action.
Brave has worked with NC State female athletes across every sport through their Wolfpack Women initiative since 2021. Each year, Brave hosts a session for first-year and transfer female student-athletes, embedding Brave language and programming into the Wolfpack culture.
This program changes lives, guiding players to discover the possibilities of success, love, joy and the ability to reach big goals.
Our players at the Naval Academy developed an awareness, a confidence, and their way of being that translated into practice immediately and into the psyche of the way each of our players saw work and competition.

The session provided an energetic way for our athletes to explore tough concepts with their peers and do some hard self-reflection. It was really special having all our women's teams experience it together. There were a lot of smiles and so many deep thoughts, and much to be proud of!
Michele Dombrowski, Assistant AD, Sewanee
I would highly recommend a Brave session to anyone that is looking to step outside of their comfort zone, learn more about themselves, and practice being Brave! This is a great tool to use with Teams because players learn to communicate with each other in a different way, and build stronger relationships.
