Sport is my life. I believe that it unites and inspires people. Sport should remain the most neutral, open and safe environment for athletes from all over the world. I have created the We Compete As One foundation to support athletes who have been excluded from competition for non-sporting reasons.

Nikita Mazepin,

Chairman of the Foundation's Board

Psychological support is the main area of assistance that I’ve received being a part of the Foundation. During the sessions with a sports psychologist, I managed to sort out what was bothering me and determine the way of solving the problems. Each new meeting made me feel better. The sessions made my every day happier and easier!

When I joined the We Compete As One foundation, I felt like I was driving a car at full speed with no wheel in it, in total uncertainty, covering the face with my hands. I needed to distract myself from what had happened, to find support. The Foundation's specialists helped me out with it: they organized a course of psychological sessions for me, and gave me an opportunity to continue my English studies.

The Foundation’s team offered me a course of sessions with a sports psychologist. The specialist helps athletes find motivation to continue one’s career, as well as determine a new way beyond sport. During our meetings, we discussed most pressing issues of self-esteem, self-confidence, and goal-setting. This allowed me to find new strength to train further and prepare for competitions to come. For the first time in a while, I feel myself better.

The Foundation’s specialists helped me get a new job in the sports development and youth policy department of a prominent Russian company. This very area interests me a lot, so finally I can put the experience I’ve gained into practice. There is my first business trip coming up, so now I am delving into workflows and business processes.

I want to thank the We Compete As One foundation for the psychological support I got here. The sports psychologist I worked with helped me understand myself better, gave me valuable advices on how to move forward, and taught me a lot of new things.

The turning point of the course was a comprehensive analysis of my character qualities. I saw that it is not that bad – I used to think that I had completely burned out and broke down. Now I know it for sure – I am still motivated, can prioritize and achieve my goals. Most importantly, I learnt that I could work out the issues that knock me out of my “sports balance”.
