At Solasta Counselling and Psychological Services, we believe in the power of sport to build confidence, resilience, and community. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we are an official sponsor of the Calgary Blizzard Women’s soccer team for the 2025 season!
This partnership is more than just a logo on a jersey — it’s a reflection of our shared values and commitment to supporting women in sport, promoting mental wellness, and building strong, inclusive communities right here in Calgary.
Why Sport Matters — Especially for Women
Participation in sport can have a powerful impact on mental health. Research shows that regular physical activity is linked to lower rates of anxiety and depression, better self-esteem, and improved mood and focus — benefits that are especially important for young women and girls. According to Canadian Women & Sport, one in three girls drops out of sport during adolescence, often due to lack of support, body image concerns, or mental health challenges.
As a Calgary-based mental health practice with deep expertise in supporting adolescents, athletes, and women, we see firsthand how powerful it can be when girls and women stay involved in sport. Whether it’s soccer, hockey, or track — sport provides a space for connection, leadership, and personal growth.
A Shared Commitment to Wellness and Community
The Calgary Blizzard Soccer Club is one of the city’s most respected and community-driven athletic organizations. Their women’s team exemplifies what it means to lead with integrity, passion, and teamwork — values that deeply align with our work at Solasta.
By sponsoring the Calgary Blizzard Women, we’re not only supporting the physical side of sport, but also uplifting the mental well-being of female athletes. At Solasta, we offer specialized support for those navigating the unique mental health challenges that come with high performance, injury recovery, identity shifts, and life transitions.
Our Passion for Mental Wellness in Athletics
As a practice, we understand that the mental side of sport is just as important as the physical. We work with athletes of all levels — from weekend warriors to elite competitors — offering services like:
-
Individual Counselling for anxiety, performance pressure, or identity issues
-
Adolescent Therapy for youth navigating sport, school, and self-esteem
-
EMDR Therapy and trauma-informed care for athletes recovering from injury or setbacks
Our clinicians also specialize in performance anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and post-sport transitions — all common experiences among competitive athletes.
Looking Ahead: A Season of Collaboration and Support
We’re proud to stand behind a team that uplifts women’s sport in Calgary and creates positive role models for the next generation. Throughout the 2025 season, we’ll be cheering from the sidelines — and sharing updates, insights, and reflections on how mental health and sport intersect.
If you’re attending a match this season, keep an eye out for our logo on the Calgary Blizzard Women’s jerseys — and come say hi if you see us in the crowd!
