The Mind Lab Helps Youth and Homeschool Athletes Build Skills Beyond the Game

Every young athlete faces moments that test more than their physical skills. A mistake can shake their confidence. A packed week can make it hard to balance school and training. And stepping into a leadership role can feel unfamiliar, even for an athlete who knows the game well.

The Mind Lab from Black Diamond Sports & Entertainment Group gives youth and homeschool athletes ages 8–18 a place to work on those skills. Families can choose a monthly membership for ongoing mental resilience and athlete development or a weekly course focused on a specific topic.

Monthly Mind Lab Memberships

Each membership is **$29 per month** and includes a one-hour live Zoom session on the **15th of each month**. Sessions are grouped by age so athletes can work on mental resilience and sport performance at a level that fits their stage of development.

| Group | Ages | Live session on the 15th |

| Homeschool Athletes | 8–13 | Noon–1 p.m. Central |

| Homeschool Athletes | 14–18 | 1–2 p.m. Central |

| Youth Athletes | 8–13 | 4–5 p.m. Central |

| Youth Athletes | 14–18 | 5–6 p.m. Central |

Members get access to the shared **Mind Lab Hub** for resources between sessions. Each group’s private space houses the Zoom link and session replays, so athletes can catch up if they miss a live session or revisit it later. Memberships renew monthly until canceled.

Weekly Courses for Youth Athletes

Families looking to focus on one skill can choose from three weekly course topics. Each course is **$200** and is offered separately for **ages 8–13** and **ages 14–18**.

- **Mental Resilience for Youth Athletes** helps athletes practice responding to setbacks, refocusing after mistakes, and handling pressure in competition.

- **Time Management for Youth Athletes** focuses on planning ahead and balancing schoolwork, practices, games, and other commitments.

- **Sport Leadership for Youth Athletes** explores how athletes can communicate with teammates, take responsibility, and lead by example.

A monthly membership gives athletes a regular time to work on their mental game. A weekly course gives them room to dig into the skill they want to build right now.
