When we think of an athlete, the image that comes to mind is that of power, agility and determination. We admire its ability to overcome physical limits, to resist fatigue and to fight point on point. But what happens when the spotlights go out? What is hidden behind a perfect crushed or an impeccable defense?
An inner world is often hidden often made of pressure, expectations, management of defeat and victory.
The recent, historic triumph of the Italian national team at the World Cup taught us precisely this: on the pitch, as in life, not only the points marked, but also the mental strength with which you get up after a fall. Because the mind matters as much as the body.
And it is precisely for this reason that, with immense pride, we announce one Historical collaboration: Unabravo is Premium Sponsor and Mental Health Official Partner of the Women’s Series Series League.
A partnership to break the taboos
The partnership, which will be officially announced on September 26 on the occasion of the Courmayeur Cup, marks a Absolute primacy in Italy.
It is the first time that an organization dedicated to mental health signs a premium level sponsorship with a women’s professional sports alloy. A choice that for us at Unebravo is not accidental, but deeply rooted in our mission: Make psychological well -being accessible and normal For everyone.
We have always worked for Set up the stigma that surrounds the therapy. With a network of over 8,000 psychologists and more than 5 million sessions paid, we brought psychological support to the homes of hundreds of thousands of people.
We share the same push towards excellence and enhancement of the potential with the Volleyball League Volleyball Serie A, especially the female one.
As our CEO & Founder said, Danila De Stefano:
For too long, the company looked at psychological well -being with a Machist approach, labeling those who find themselves in difficulty instead of leaving their hand as fragile. With this partnership we want to overturn this idea: taking care of one’s mind is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. Sport teaches us every day: performance, recovery, the ability to team up are also born from psychological well -being. And this is the message we want to bring inside and off the pitch
A vision shared with enthusiasm also by Mauro Fabris, president of the women’s volleyball League, who underlined the importance of this step:
As often happened in recent years, we are happy to be able to break a taboo: it had never happened that an organization dedicated to mental health was approaching a sporting movement of female excellence such as that of Serie A. This is a theme that is very careful since before growing Olympic and World Championships, the goal of the League and its clubs has always been to form young women, independent and aware. Psychological support, especially to very young girls who are catapulted into a context in all respects, is fundamental. We are extremely convinced that this splendid partnership can represent a concrete step towards a healthier sports environment, attentive to the well -being of the athletes inside and off the pitch. With UnaBravo we share the vision of a sport that is not just competition and excellence, but also personal growth and personal care
What will we do together, concretely?
Ours will not be just a presence on the sidelines. It will be a real commitment to make a difference. The idea is that of bring the conversation to psychological well -being Outside the therapy studies and inside the buildings, among people.
Together with the League, We will organize initiatives To speak openly of emotions, pressure and resilience, involving not only the players, but also those who support them from the stands. We want to use the great energy of volleyball to remind everyone how important it is to listen to.
And there is a date to be marked on the calendar: in the first match after the 10 October, World Mental Health Daywe will give life to a special moment to reiterate our message.
Together for a new match point: that of wellness
Volleyball teaches that you do not win alone and that after each fall you have to find the strength to get up to play the next point. Basically, life is not very different. Train the mind To be resilient is as important as to train the body to jump higher.
For us at Unebravo, starting this path with women’s volleyball alloy means just this: bringing this message to as many people as possible, showing that asking for help and taking care of yourself it is never a weakness.
Together, we will play the Most important game: the one in which everyone’s psychological well -being wins.
