Help your Youth thrive on the field, at home, and in life!
Your Youth’s greatest advantage isn’t skills — it’s connection.
Harvard found close, meaningful relationships are the single most powerful predictor of joy–far outweighing wealth, status, or achievement.
(*Harvard study of Adult Development, 2003)
Young people want to live their best life but often don’t know how to take healthy steps. Parents want the best for their kids and sometimes don’t know how they or others can best help their kids. That’s where WeYouth comes in, we are here to help you and your youth.

Who we Help
-
Your athlete has the skills. But confidence, resilience, and the ability to reset after mistakes — those are what separate good from great. Our Mental Performance Connection Coaching pairs a professional coach with a college athlete near-peer mentor to build the mental game most programs completely ignore.
-
You love your kid — but something feels off. Whether your teen is pulling away, struggling to connect, or you just want to strengthen your relationship before it gets harder, we have services built specifically for you.
Parents who work with us report less family conflict, more meaningful time together, and a teen who handles setbacks better — at home, at school, and in life.
-
You don't have to be in crisis to work with us. Whether it's friendships, focus, anxiety, sports performance, or just figuring out how to navigate life — our coaches meet you exactly where you are. No judgment. No labels. Just real support from people who get it.

Testimonials
Generational change one person at a time
“We have definitely noticed a difference. Before she started, anything I would say as a parent she would disagree with, almost like a pit bull. Now it is very rare since she started sessions. She says things like ‘I can see where you are coming from on that.’ We’ve really seen a big change in her the last few months.”
— Mom of 18 yo cheerleader“We had tried many types of counseling for our son for years but none gave him the traction that Connection Coaching did. He was spending most of his free time gaming and we were concerned about his ability to launch while in his early twenties. After coaching he started setting goals, making connections with others, and became confident in making friends. Within six months he decided to move out, confident that he could make friends and continue progressing because of the skills he developed. I highly recommend this program to all my friends.”
Mother of 22 yo maleTrusted by Youth Sports Leaders
"When mental skills, connection, and relationship coaching are added, the development process becomes truly holistic — supporting not just better players, but better people. Athletes grow more confident, resilient, and accountable, which strengthens team culture and encourages positive peer leadership."

WeYouth engages in several strategies to improve connection for young people, and our cornerstone project is Connection Coaching. We have proven that it works, that it appeals to young people, and that it is scalable. But we need help to reach more young people, and to further demonstrate Connection Coaching’s growth potential and sustainability.
Our vision is for Connection Coaching to be available to young people in any community around the United States and eventually the world. The task is daunting, but the urgent needs of young people require us to be fearless.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
WeYouth is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Utah that offers coaching, therapy, and mental performance services for youth, teens, and families. Our programs are designed to help young people build connection, confidence, and life skills — on the field and off.

-
Our services are designed for teens and young adults (typically ages 12–25), their parents, and athletic coaches or club directors. Whether your teen is a competitive athlete struggling with performance anxiety, a young person dealing with social disconnection, or a parent who wants to strengthen their relationship with their kid — we have a service designed specifically for your situation.
-
Connection Coaching is a proactive, goal-oriented coaching model focused on helping young people build communication skills, expand their friendships, and connect more confidently with others. It's not therapy — there's no diagnosis, no clinical treatment, and no stigma. Many families choose Connection Coaching precisely because their teen isn't in crisis but could benefit from intentional support. If deeper therapeutic needs emerge, our licensed therapists are available as well.
-
WeYouth's signature two-coach model pairs each participant with an experienced lead coach and a near-peer college athlete mentor. Research shows that young people develop faster when expert instruction is combined with mentorship from someone who has recently walked the same path. The college athlete mentor brings relatability, credibility, and lived experience — making sessions more engaging and helping teens actually apply what they learn.
-
Individual coaching and therapy sessions are $125 per session. Package pricing is available — sessions reduce to $100 each when a full program package is purchased upfront. We also offer a $50 self-guided Mental Performance Learning Module for athletes. All services begin with a free consultation so you can find the right fit before committing.
