State of Mind have been working in a pioneering mental fitness project with Bold FC this season and they have now officially won their league!

State of Mind hoped to be able to help all the players feel good, play better and live well away from the game.

The initial results to begin our unique Mental Fitness Project, were from pre-project questions:

1. We asked players if they were aware of mental fitness 54% said ‘Yes’, 19% said ‘No’ and 27% were ‘Not Sure’

2. We asked players if they were aware of mental toughness 62% said ‘Yes’, 15% said ‘No’ and 23% said they were ‘Not Sure’

3. We asked if players wanted to improve their mental fitness 81% said ‘Yes’ and 19% said ‘No’

4. We asked if players wanted to improve their mental toughness 85% said ‘Yes’ and 15% said ‘No’

The overwhelming majority of players wanted to improve their mental fitness and mental toughness.

Based on these responses we have developed sessions tailored for the two Open Age football clubs and Bold FC have won their league and Bold Miners FC, after finishing bottom last year, are pushing for a top five finish in their league.

State of Mind would like to congratulate all players, staff and coaches on their amazing work this season
