TEAM BE BETTER;

09/21/2026

Today Ian would have been 26.

We lost him to su***de on 9/7/2020, but every single day we honor his life by changing how we support young people and their families.

At Team Be Better;, we’ve know that healing doesn't happen in isolation—it happens when we equip the Care Circle (the parents, coaches, and mentors) surrounding loved ones everyday. When the circle of care gets the tools, frameworks, and clinical support they need, everything changes.

Happy 26th Birthday, Ian. We love you, we miss you, and we are carrying your legacy forward. 💙

Thank you for continuing to honor Ian’s legacy. Ian’s life, his accomplishments in and out of the pool, and his openness about mental health struggles have opened the door for conversations and support that have saved others’ lives. 💙💛

Six years later, Ian Miskelley’s impact continues to be felt throughout our Michigan Swimming and Diving family and far beyond it.

Ian was a teammate, a brother, and a friend whose selflessness and care for others left a lasting mark on everyone around him. Each year, we celebrate that spirit through the Ian Miskelley Hope Scholarship, presented to a swimmer or diver who demonstrates the same compassion, generosity, and commitment to others that Ian embodied.

His legacy also lives on through the Be Better Wellness Center, established by the Miskelley family in Holland, Michigan, to help provide mental health services and support to their community.

Later this month, Michigan Swimming and Diving will come together at the Be Better Invite to remember Ian, celebrate his life, and carry forward the message behind his legacy.

For us, honoring Ian means more than remembering. It means showing up for each other, recognizing when someone may need support, and never hesitating to reach out when we need help ourselves.

Resources available to our community include:

IAN (Intercollegiate Athletic Network): Established in Ian’s memory, IAN connects student-athletes through peer-to-peer support while helping strengthen mental health awareness and education across our athletic community.

U-M Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS): All U-M students have access to free and confidential mental health services and counseling. CAPS is located on the fourth floor of the Michigan Union and can be reached after business hours at 734-764-8312.

Need immediate support? The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline provides free, confidential crisis support around the clock. Call or text 988 anytime to connect with a trained counselor.

As we remember Ian, we continue to carry his spirit forward by caring for one another and challenging ourselves each day to Be Better.

You helped us raise over $40,000 for family-centered mental health education, training, consultations, and care plans! The 2026 TEAM BE BETTER; Golf Outing was another incredible event to support the work we do for young adults in the community.
