UNW Men's Soccer and Soccer Resilience: Renewed Partnership for Mental Fitness Excellence

In an exciting and promising renewal, Soccer Resilience proudly announces the continuation of its partnership with the University of Northwestern's men's soccer team.

Head Coach Greg Wheaton, with a soccer journey deeply rooted in the Brazilian style of play from his South American beginnings, embarked on a remarkable soccer career. From being an All-Conference player at Liberty University to his experience as a professional player in various countries, Coach Wheaton's commitment to the beautiful game is indisputable. 

Coach Wheaton passionately emphasizes the importance of mindset and mental training, stating,

"As a soccer coach, I am always looking for ways to improve myself and my team. One of the most vital tools for personal growth is the mind. When the mind is in the right place, everything else falls into place. We are thrilled to renew our partnership with Soccer Resilience and continue taking our mental training and mindset to the next level."

As a former NCAA student-athlete and Wake Forest alumnus Wells Thompson recognizes the transformative phase of college soccer, particularly its mental and emotional challenges. Thompson believes deeply in the importance of self-awareness, understanding mindset, and the significance of mental fitness during this pivotal time. He expresses his excitement, saying,

"The college game holds a special place in my heart, and I wish I had had more awareness of mindset and mental fitness during my NCAA journey. I am delighted that Greg, with whom I've shared these experiences, is providing his eager and talented UNW players with the content, inspiration, tools, and strategies that our Soccer Resilience team, curriculum, and training offer."

This partnership signifies UNW Men's Soccer's unwavering commitment to nurturing both the physical and mental aspects of the game. United with Soccer Resilience, they continue a journey to empower their players with the mental resilience required to excel on and off the field.
