# Student athlete *well being programs*

The Farm helps the organizations closest to athletes build programs that support the whole person: mental and physical health, academics, access to care, and a fair shot at playing at all. We assess what you offer today, design around the gaps that matter most, and help your team run it.

## Who this is for

Athletic departments, nonprofits, health organizations, and community agencies that want athletes supported during competition and not only judged by it.

## Focus areas

- **Well being.** Mental, physical, and academic health built into the season, not bolted on after a crisis.
- **Health access.** Connecting athletes and their families to care, screening, and resources they may not reach on their own.
- **Equity in sports.** Removing the cost, transportation, and information barriers that decide who gets to play and who gets support.
- **Partnerships.** Linking your program with health systems, schools, and community partners so services last beyond one grant cycle.

## How we work

1. **Assess.** We learn your athletes, your community, and the services you offer today.
2. **Design.** We build programs and partnerships around the gaps that matter most.
3. **Implement.** We help your team launch, staff, and run the work with confidence.
4. **Measure.** We track outcomes you can show to leadership, funders, and families.

## Why The Farm

This work is led by Marcus Mills, a former Penn State football player, former assistant coach at Penn State and Temple, former professional track and field coach who reached the U.S. Olympic Trials, and a current high school football coach in Charlotte. He is also the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Sam Mills, whose career and fight with cancer showed what athletes need beyond the field.

Questions

## Athlete well being FAQ

What is a student athlete well being program?

A student athlete well being program is a coordinated set of services that supports athletes as whole people: mental health, physical health and recovery, academics, and life skills, delivered alongside training and competition instead of after problems appear.

What kinds of organizations do you work with?

University and high school athletic programs, nonprofits with athlete focused missions, health organizations that serve athletes and families, and community agencies running youth sports.

Can you help us measure outcomes for funders or leadership?

Yes. Every program we help design includes a simple way to track participation and outcomes so you can report results to leadership, funders, and families.
