This past year we sent out 150 care packages to athletes who experienced a medically-forced exit from sport. There are still so many athletes in need of these packages, and we hope you will be able to help us make it possible to get them the resources they deserve.

These care packages help medically disqualified student-athletes feel seen and understood and provide them with tangible resources from those who have been there themselves.

Each care package includes custom made gifts and resources informed and designed by Sidelined USA’s network of mentor sidelined athletes and will be provided to medically sidelined athletes free of charge.

Your $55 donation contributes to an athlete care package that includes:
✅ ‘Dear Sidelined Self’ letters written by Sidelined USA’s network of mentors, sharing their experiences of being sidelined
✅ Resource library of tools specifically helpful to sidelined athletes
✅ A Nike dry fit tee with ‘What Stands in the Way Becomes the Way’ resilience motto
✅ ‘More Than An Athlete’ Refocus Wristband

Your generous gift tells a sidelined athlete that they are not alone. You can join our cause by clicking the link in our bio to donate. Any amounts helps! Thank you!

🚀OCTOBER LAUNCH! 🤝We are coming together this October as athletes, athletic trainers, parents, coaches, and sports fans, to rally support for a group of young people often forgotten.

For student-athletes experiencing a medical exit from sport caused by career-ending injury, health condition, or repeat concussions, it can feel like their entire world is falling apart. On top of their physical rehabilitation and medical treatments, these young people frequently cope with identity loss (91%) , depression (75%), and even suicidal ideation (31%) directly related to their medical exit from sport*. 76% report feeling like a part of them has died. And sadly, only 30% know they have people to talk to if needed.

We believe nobody should feel alone when they are experiencing tremendous loss, which is why we are inviting you to join us in doing something about it!

Being sidelined from your sport can be a very isolating experience. When isolation evolves into depression and depression teeters on despair, it is vitally important to be your own advocate and seek help. When you're in this state of mind, we acknowledge how difficult any movement can be. Keep reading for 3 keys to getting through this dark time. Let today be the day you begin to lean into the light. 🌅

➖💭"Everything that was good about me was tied to my sport. Now that it’s gone, I don’t have anything to offer. My sport is what made me stand out.” 🆚➕💭”Qualities that made me a strong athlete and teammate are the qualities that make me a good friend/student, etc. I am tough and equipped to handle challenges. I understand this loss was great BUT my strength and resilience are also great.”

💡 By taking other possible perspectives into consideration, catching ourselves before jumping to conclusions, and deciphering our emotions and opinions from the facts, we can begin to tackle all the thoughts that are hindering our happiness and success.

💡Consider what it would look like if you believed you were capable and worthy of more beyond what you contribute on the court/field.
