We envision a world where every athlete has access to the comprehensive support they need. Our vision goes beyond emotional wellness to the holistic development of athletes, empowering them to navigate their careers with confidence and resilience.

Together, we aspire to create a legacy of strength, resilience and success for athletes at all stages of their journey.

Brandon's story

Why this is personal

Brandon Siler's six-year NFL career ended after the death of his teammate and close friend, Jovan Belcher, at the Kansas City Chiefs facility in 2012. In the years that followed, Brandon battled anxiety and depression, including two suicide attempts.

Through his faith and the specialized support of the Legacy Healthy Minds program, he found his way forward. Today he uses that experience to make sure other athletes don't face these challenges alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, any time.
What we do

Support for the whole athlete

From mental health technology to NIL guidance, our programs meet athletes where they are.

Mental health technology

Biofeedback

Non-invasive sensors measure how the body responds to stress, anxiety or depression, so athletes can learn to control those responses.

Mental health technology

Neurofeedback

EEG-based training that uses visual or audio signals to help athletes recognize and adjust brain activity, improving focus and emotional regulation.

Mental health technology

Brain mapping

Advanced neuroimaging that maps brain activity and connectivity, offering insight into depression, anxiety, PTSD and the effects of concussions.
