WINNING FROM WITHIN
WINNING FROM WITHIN
Advocating for Mental Health Awareness in Youth Sports
We are a non-profit organization designed to promote mental health awareness in the youth sports community. Athletes of all kinds have mental health issues hindering their ability to compete and enjoy the activities they love. We are here to help.
WHO WE ARE
Our Mission
At Winning from Within, we want to acknowledge the mental pain and struggle that goes unnoticed by a large percentage of athletes and to support them in every way possible. We believe everyone can benefit from multiple facets of mental health support and the goal for some starts here.
We are a 501(c)(3) certified non-profit organization raising money for scholarships that help young athletes receive support financially to access local therapists, psychiatrists and group therapy sessions. We hope to increase mental health awareness within larger organizations and utilize ways to extend our help into the community. We are extending a hand to those who cannot help themselves, whether it be a financial need or just a place where more support and understanding of mental health is needed.
HOW WE HELP
What your Donations are Allocated Towards
COUNSELING
It's hard to get your head in the game if you can't get out of your head. This foundation started with the intention of helping athletes and our goal for them is to mentally perform well OFF the field which in turn helps them ON the field.
Winning from Within is based out of Montgomery County, PA. We will provide resources, information, and financial aid to those who need it in Montgomery County and its surrounding areas. We create relationships with counselors, therapists and psychiatrists to help them provide mental health support plans that are financially reasonable and sustainable for the athlete. We do this so those in need can seek out the help they deserve and focus on doing the work.
PSYCHIATRY
Sometimes counseling isn't enough. There are mental conditions that affect the brain’s chemistry and sometimes the way to help someone is through prescribing medication in combination to therapy. Psychiatry is the profession to help prescribe the correct medication for mental health problems. Linked below will be some practices with whom we work alongside.
SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY
50% of the game is 90% mental
- Yogi Berra
Yogi Berra was on to something when he said this. An athlete's mental state is just as, if not more, important than their physique. A whole branch of psychology is dedicated to helping a new generation of athletes prosper. Linked below will be some sports psychology practices we work alongside.
SPREADING AWARENESS
Having trusted mental health professionals to spread the word that your mental well-being is important and valuable is part of our mission. We want the community to know how to support those with mental health issues as well as embrace those in their lives that have them. We want to engage with athletes, their families and their coaches to show how athletes can better themselves through awareness and therapies.

HOW WE OPERATE
Inside the Organization
Our mission is to increase mental health awareness in the youth sports community and to help those who need specific support and therapy.
How will we accomplish this? We partner with local mental health practices and their experienced professionals to help plan financially reasonable and sustainable therapy that athletes can begin. We offer mental health scholarships to athletes who need support they cannot attain for themselves.
The team of highly qualified board members at Winning from Within will review applications for our mental health scholarships and the deciding criteria will determine financial amounts being awarded. We also offer resources and information to help athletes determine how they can best help themselves and from which practices and groups they can seek help.
