OUR MISSION

"Where there's a will, there's a way."

"The best don't rest."

"Unless you puke, faint, or die, keep going."

"Win at all costs."

​

The culture of athletics makes it hard for athletes to differentiate between hard work and pushing too far. Taking care of mental health is associated with weakness. 

​

Although a growing number of athletes have started speaking out about their struggles, an estimated 92% of colleges still don't have adequate support for athletes. Mental and physical health remain on separate playing fields. 

​

The Hidden Opponent is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and advocacy group that creates long-lasting systemic change in sports through our dedicated mental health advocacy work and national presence of Campus Captain ambassadors. Our global community is a hub for all change-makers in sports, and our resources remain responsive to the ongoing needs of student-athletes.
