Professional Tennis Players Association and Psych Hub Partner to Elevate Mental Fitness Resources for Tennis Players

WASHINGTON and NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA) and Psych Hub, the leading platform for evidence-based behavioral health education, today announced a partnership to provide professional tennis players and their support teams with world-class mental health and wellness resources.

Through this collaboration, the PTPA will offer players and their teams complimentary access to Psych Hub's customized digital education and tools, designed to address the unique pressures of life on and off the court. The initiative builds on the PTPA's groundbreaking Mental Fitness Program and further strengthens the organization's commitment to holistic player well-being.

"Mental fitness is every bit as important as physical fitness, particularly in high-performance spaces like professional tennis," said Scott Healy, CEO of Psych Hub. "Together with the PTPA, we are making evidence-based tools accessible, practical, and player-focused so athletes and their teams can thrive in their careers and lives."

"This partnership reflects our commitment to building a culture of mental fitness in professional tennis," said Damon Valentino, Director of Mental Fitness at the PTPA. "By giving players and their teams access to world-class psychological tools, we're not only addressing stress, anxiety, and burnout today — we're prioritizing their long-term health, performance, and sustainability."

Partnership highlights include:

Player Resources Hub: Complimentary access to a custom, co-branded Psych Hub platform featuring tailored resources on depression, anxiety, burnout, stress and more.

Player-Centered Content: Exclusive access to PTPA and Psych Hub co-created resources developed specifically for the tennis community, including videos and materials on relevant topics such as social media harassment, manipulative relationships and player safety.

Player Support Team Education: Complimentary access to Psych Hub's Mental Health Ally certificate courses for coaches and player support team members.

Personalized Guidance: Topic-specific introductory materials from Damon Valentino, PTPA Director of Mental Fitness, to orient players to the program and reinforce why these resources matter.

"Players know firsthand how critical it is to have the right support system," said Vasek Pospisil, PTPA Executive Committee member. "This partnership ensures players can lean on trusted, evidence-based resources when we need them most."

"Coaches carry the responsibility of guiding players not just through matches, but through the pressures that come with life on tour," said Hakan Dahlbo, professional tennis coach and president of the Professional Tennis Coaches Association (PTCA). "Thanks to the PTPA recognizing this need, we now have access to a broadened suite of industry-leading resources that help us spot when an athlete may be struggling and respond with knowledge and care. It's an invaluable step in building stronger, healthier teams."

The PTPA has made health and wellness a cornerstone of its work to improve player welfare. In 2024, the organization launched PTPA MedNet, a first-of-its-kind global medical network for players. Now, through its Mental Fitness Program, the PTPA continues to innovate by offering expanded education and support that strengthen the links between mental well-being and high athletic performance.
