  ABSTRACT: The current study was a pre-post survey of 15 student athletes, two male and 13 females, representing eight sports regarding their mental resiliency and mental health perceptions. The baseline survey was completed during the athlete’s pre-season and the follow up survey during their post-season. Between testing sessions athletes completed mental toughness training with an outside consultant, Thru the Game, Mental Health Support for Athletes. For the purpose of this study, data collection focused on anxiety, depression, and burnout. Significant improvements were found in anxiety, but not depression or burnout.
