Growth Beyond the Game
Where Identity Meets Performance
Four Hills Athlete Development helps athletes in ANY sport unlock their full potential by strengthening the person behind the performance.
About Us
At Four Hills, we believe greatness begins within.
We are an Indigenous-owned social work practice that supports high-performing youth of all backgrounds and lived realities, and emerging elite athletes through a wholistic approach rooted in behavioral science, identity theory, and emotional wellness. Our work blends evidence-based methods with grounded, culturally informed practice to help athletes thrive, in and out of their sport.
At Four Hills, we welcome ALL athletes, regardless of sport or cultural background, because the identity work we do transcends competition, shaping youth not just as performers, but as powerful people beyond the game.
Whether navigating performance pressure, life transitions, or personal growth, we guide athletes toward sustained excellence by building their inner game. We don’t just train competitors - we shape resilient, self-aware, and purpose-driven individuals.
Welcome to the next level!

Through relational guidance, personalized development pathways, and integrated support systems, we help athletes rise with integrity, groundedness, and courage.
Core Values
Wholeness - We develop the whole person, not just the athlete. We integrate mental, emotional, physical, and identity wellness into every step of growth.
Identity - We honour personal, and athletic identity. Athletes succeed when they know who they are - on and off the field, rink, court.
Resilience - We build the inner strength to persist through adversity. We guide athletes to develop tools that last far beyond the game.
Integrity - We lead with honesty, accountability, and purpose. Our approach is grounded in trust, truth-telling, and doing what’s right - even when it’s hard.
Growth - We are always becoming. Whether in sport or life, we believe development is ongoing, layered, and worth of investment.
Belonging - We create safe spaces where athletes feel seen, heard, and valued. True performance emerges from environments rooted in connection.
Leadership - We cultivate leaders, not just winners. Our athletes learn to lead from within and uplift those around them.
