Services at Four Hills Athlete Development

At Four Hills Athlete Development, we offer personalized, relationship-based services designed to support the whole athlete. Our counselling and development sessions focus on mental performance, emotional intelligence, identity exploration, leadership growth, and navigating the pressures of sport. We work with youth athletes individually or in small groups to build the internal skills often overlooked in traditional training—like self-awareness, confidence, regulation, and purpose.

Our services are grounded in social work values and guided by evidence-informed approaches, including ecological systems theory, behaviorism, cognitive strategies, and wholistic wellness models. We also offer family and parent support to help build strong, aligned systems around the athlete.

Whether you're facing a high-pressure transition, team conflict, performance plateaus, or simply want to grow beyond the scoreboard, Four Hills is here to help. All services are inclusive, trauma-informed, and affirming of LGBTQ and 2-Spirited youth.

Because true growth starts from within.

Parental Consent Required for Minor Athletes:

To uphold ethical and legal standards in social work:

Parents/guardians of all athletes under 18 must review and sign a consent form before any individual service, one-on-one interaction, or therapeutic-style support can be offered.

This form outlines:

  • The nature of support offered

  • Confidentiality and its limits

  • Voluntary participation and withdrawal rights

  • Crisis and duty-to-report guidelines

No 1:1 engagement will occur with a minor athlete without signed consent on file.

This ensures alignment with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) standards and supports a transparent relationship with families.

Notes:

This is a confidential and non-disciplinary support service.

All interventions are based in relational trust, youth development principles, and coach alignment.

Coaches and leadership will receive general themes without violating the privacy of athletes unless safety concerns arise.

Contractual Access Only – Not Bookable Online:

To maintain professional standards and ensure the integrity of the support offered:

This service is available only through a formal Service Agreement.

Team managers or coaches must initiate a conversation with Four Hills to determine needs, scope, and fit. A mutual service contract will outline responsibilities, communication protocols, ethical considerations, and use-of-service structure.

There is no booking link or self-scheduling access for this package.

All services are managed and coordinated directly between Four Hills and designated team representatives.
