What it reported doing in 2025

Game Ready Enterprises primary purpose is to positively increase mental, physical skill set and assist in their career path through, utilizing the high end competitive athletic program they are participating in at their collegiate institution. GAME READY ENTERPRISES THE LEAGUE 2025 YEAR IN REVIEWGame Ready Enterprises completes its fifth year in the summer of 2025, that featured over 168 collegiate student athletes from all four corners of the U.S. An increase of twenty percent from 2024. The summer program consisted of a 6-week mental health building surrounding customized game exercises, community engagement, group meetings, a question-and-answer session and follow-up throughout the year. A 2025 study of college varsity athletes (primarily Division III) found very high prevalences of anxiety (64.5%), depression (62.9%), and notable substance use (alcohol 59.7%, other substances 49%) among respondents. According to the most recent NCAA Student-Athlete Health and Wellness Study, up to 44% of student-athletes report experiencing mental health symptoms on a daily basis. Women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ student-athletes reported the highest rates of mental health struggles, according to the report. Game Ready Enterprises continues to focus on community engagement, with the application of leadership engagement methods with our student athletes. We saw a 20% increase in our junior college student athletes and increased support to enable us to implement all needed programs and hands-on support. Financial donations increased, allowing staff members to secure scholarships to four-year educational institutions for several of our members. Over 60% valued a positive change in their mental health and many are planning to return for the 2026 summer season. Game Ready Enterprises had weekly meetings that exercised their mental health, provided physical skills set and tested their skills on the competitive athletic field. A total of sixty-eight mental strength enhancing games were played in the course of six weeks. Game Ready Enterprises competed in an exhibition game against Mexico National Team in the month of June and July. The exhibition game was focused on supporting a colleague suffering from health crises. Several student athletes from the summer program volunteered in support of the cause. Game Ready Enterprises spent the year working to design and deploy new virtual and practical initiatives to support/ increased awareness in our community. Though it all, we gained new partners in our community to support Game Ready Enterprises and its health, wellness and career path of collegiate student athletes. Together with our marketing and social media efforts, The League college softball summer league, will enter its sixth season in 2026 building several mental health programs that are being put into practice
