The Mental Half

Train the mental half of the game. A pregame routine, plus check-ins and reflections that help junior athletes in team sports walk on calm, focused and ready.

The Mental Half helps junior athletes train the mental side of their game. Before each game, players run a short routine: a guided breath, a focus visualisation and a simple readiness check-in, so they walk on calm, clear and switched on. Afterwards, a quick reflection helps them notice what worked and what to sharpen next time. For coaches and clubs, those check-ins become a clear picture of team readiness and engagement, without ever exposing a player's private reflections to teammates. What's inside: • Pregame breathing and visualisation routine • Readiness and mood check-ins • Reflections and personal trends after each game • Quick mental warmup games • Coach and club dashboards for team readiness • Private by design, so wellbeing data is never a public ranking The app speaks your sport's language. It's available now for basketball and Australian football, with more team sports on the way. Provided by A2Z Basketball. Athletes join through their club with a team code, and for players under 18 a parent or guardian gives permission first.
