That’s why Evergreen Awards is proud to name SportMind as the Best Mental Performance App for Athletes of 2025, recognizing its pioneering role in transforming how athletes train the mind, overcome pressure, and thrive in and beyond competition.

This prestigious honor follows a highly competitive review of hundreds of mental training platforms and performance tools across the globe. SportMind rose above the rest for its innovative approach, global reach, and deep, lasting impact on athletes of all ages and levels.

Created by Founder Jesse Engelbrecht, a former world-ranked squash professional who faced the mental challenges of elite competition firsthand, the platform offers science-backed mental training that athletes actually use in real time.

From 3-minute pre-game breathing exercises to structured mental resilience courses, the app delivers powerful tools that fit seamlessly into an athlete’s life. Its unique blend of modern sport psychology, breathwork, Stoic philosophy, and mindfulness makes it a one-of-a-kind resource trusted by thousands globally.
