SYP Collaborators
Strong Youth Project is committed to collaborating with those who share our values and concerns. We are extremely grateful to collaborators who help us accomplish our mission and aims.
Intermountain Health is the center of healthcare in Utah and the Mountain West with 385 clinics and 33 hospitals. We are now collaborating with Intermountain Health to accomplish our mission and aims. Working with medical professionals has been vital in our efforts to spread accurate information that will (1) help young athletes grow and progress, and (2) conduct cutting-edge research that will help young people improve their physical and mental health. We especially thank Dr. Anthony Beutler who leads Intermountain Health's Sports Medicine programs and currently serves on Strong Youth Project's Advisory Board.
Timpview High School
In our efforts to reduce injury and improve the overall experience, we are implementing pilot studies with high school athletic teams at Provo and Timpview High Schools. Athletes on these athletic teams complete daily surveys and report on their levels of soreness, nutrition, hydration levels, and mental health status. Athletic trainers and coaches then receive a personally unidentified report for their team and they can adjust practice accordingly to their athletes' needs. They may also choose to focus on different areas like sleep, nutrition, competition anxiety, depression, etc. to improve their team's well-being.
The Youth Sports Alliance is a first-rate nonprofit organization based in Park City, Utah, dedicated to supporting youth participation in winter sports. It offers high-quality programs and scholarships to help young athletes access training, equipment, and competitions in skiing, snowboarding, and other winter disciplines. Like the Strong Youth Project, the Youth Sports Alliance is dedicated to promoting healthy lifestyles and personal development, especially for young people, through sport. Along with Intermountain Health, the Strong Youth Project and Youth Sports Alliance have cooperated in providing educational services to young athletes along the Wasatch Back.
