MEET THE FOUNDER

BUILT BY A TEACHER.
POWERED BY SPORT.

Champions at Heart was created by Kelsey, an experienced teacher and Assistant Principal with a strong background in Educational Wellbeing and a lifelong passion for sport. Growing up playing team sport, Kelsey experienced firsthand how sport can help young people build confidence, resilience, teamwork, and emotional strength.

Through Champions at Heart, she combines her experience in education, wellbeing, and sport to deliver practical and engaging workshops that help young athletes develop the mindset skills needed to thrive both on and off the field.

“Mindset is a skill — and like any skill in sport, it can be taught, practised and mastered.”

Kelsey – founder and lead educator.
