OUR IMPACT
— OUR GUIDING PHILOSOPHY
Young people need a space to engage, connect, learn, heal, compete, and be empowered in a safe, fun environment. We believe that, although sports, school, communities, and careers are designed to build young people into finely tuned elite athletes, change agents, community leaders, professional juggerants, and role models, these lanes also share responsibility for manufacturing depression, suicidal thoughts, financial instability, mental wellness deficiencies, chronic illnesses, and anxiety, amongst other challenges. At NyceMoves, our purpose is purely to provide goal-oriented, self-pacing, spirtutial mapping, and a therapeutic wellness experience tailored to enriching under-resourced youth and adults a healthy self-attainable stratiges.
​
Essentially, our mission is to build on the “Whole Person” (i.e., supporting the individual to prioritize building a healthier lifestyle. )Whether you are coming from a single-parent household where mom or dad is overwhelmed from juggling multiple jobs and struggles to provide and/or access adequate time or resources necessary to support their student(s), who may be experiencing depression, spiritually uprooted, anxiety, or any other mental health woes; Or an student-athlete from a two-parent household where both employed parents lack the nutritional and financial literacy to help their teenager navigate not only through their athletic experience but to steer them on a pathway to enhance their entire well-being.
THE EMOTIONAL TOOL KIT
— Impacts from Underresourced Communities
Historically, conversations about young people who endure mental health challenges issues are seldom referenced, not only because the topic of mental health is taboo, but also because of the current culture climate of the world embraces violence, narcissism, entitlement, and stereotypically masculinity. In boxing, for example, one of the greatest heavyweight champions to be revered was Mike Tyson. "Most of his opponents got intimidated before the fight and, as a result, were losers before they absorbed the first punch”. Unfortunately, if you studied Tyson’s rise to greatness, you would discover the interpersonal and systemic trauma that not only morphed Tyson’s killer instinct in the ring but also led to domestic violence charges and financial stress out of the ring. Tyson now openly speaks about his childhood trauma of poverty, abuse, gang violence, and negligence that haunted him in his adulthood. If someone like Mike Tyson had access to a platform or services such as NyceMoves, he would had access to educational tools, nutritional awareness, financial literacy, mentorship, and practices that promote positive mental wellness to foster healthier coping strategies and decision-making.
