“Mentally Strong” is about creating videos to support young athletes mentally. Specifically, our videos will focus on the background and importance of psychoeducation. Our overarching design question is: How can we design an educational toolkit that helps young athletes remain psychologically resilient? The project’s primary target audience is young athletes, mainly high school athletes. Our secondary target audience is players’ coaches since they will introduce the videos to the players. We are motivated because psychological training is just as essential as physical training for athletes because their performance on the field is deeply related to their mental state. We would like our videos to support young athletes and the people around them in the best way possible.
