The AEA Institute Presenting sponsorship · five places
A Mental Fitness Day for your school

Put your name on the thing this town actually needs.

Five local businesses present a day that trains an entire community's mental fitness — the athletes, their parents, the students, and the businesses around them. The athletic department keeps every dollar you put in. And your logo doesn't come down when the day ends.

What you are actually backing

Three reasons local businesses say yes.

Not in the order you'd expect. The marketing is real, but it isn't why most people sign.

01

You reach kids at the point it matters

Thirteen to nineteen is when pressure, comparison and anxiety land hardest, and it's the stretch where almost nobody gets taught what to do about it. This day gives an entire school a practice — not a speech. Your name is on that.

02

Your logo lives in a daily habit

Sponsorship usually means a banner that comes down. This one puts your logo inside the platform the school's athletes open every day for a year — on the dashboard they train in, not on a wall they walk past.

03

The department keeps the money

Every dollar of the five presenting sponsorships is credited to the athletic department. It doesn't fund us and it doesn't touch the school's budget. You are directly funding the programme your neighbours' kids play in.

The part that separates this from a banner

Athletes open the platform every day. Your logo is on that screen.

Multiply that by the roster. For a department with a thousand athletes, five sponsors share a footer that is on screen for tens of thousands of athlete-hours across the year — in front of exactly the households you want to be known by. We'll size it precisely for this school before you sign anything.

The day itself

Three hours. Six live sessions. One link.

Fully virtual, hosted under the school's name, led live by our performance team. Mental fitness taught the way physical fitness is taught — practised, trained and scored.

Session 01

Mental Fitness Is Fitness

The mind can be practised, trained and scored — exactly like the body.

Session 02

Your Brain Can Be Rebuilt

Neuroplasticity made simple, and why training works at any age.

Session 03

Tools You Can Use Tonight

Daily tactics that work immediately — breathing, visualization, mental reps.

For the athletes

Inside the Moments That Test You

Nerves, pressure, the bad call — and the tools that carry athletes through them.

For local businesses

The Offense-Minded Workplace

The same system, for your own team. You're invited to this one as a guest.

For everyone

The Five Superpowers of Happiness

Gratitude, Aspiration, Mission, Hope and Resilience — trainable, and measured.

Who is in the room The school's athletes and students · their parents · local and small businesses · and the sponsors who made it happen.
Why it works

This isn't an assembly. It's a training programme.

Built on the same neuroscience as physical training — repetition, attention and progressive load, applied to the mental side.

Three ways in

Pick the level that fits.

Only one business per industry can be the presenting sponsor, and that is the part worth moving on. When your category is taken it is taken for the year.

$5,000
Presenting Sponsor · five placesYour industry held exclusively for a year, named as a presenter of the day, and your logo inside the athlete platform for twelve months.
What being a sponsor involves

Four steps, and three of them are ours.

1

You say yes

Pick a level from $500 to $5,000. A short call, then a simple agreement. Send us your logo.

2

We build the day

Sessions, the school-branded signup page, the promotion kit, all the follow-up. Your logo goes on the signup page and into the platform.

3

The community shows up

Athletes, parents, students and businesses, trained in one virtual day under the school's name.

4

You see the reach

We report what your sponsorship actually reached — memberships activated, businesses enrolled, and how many people now see your brand daily.

Five places. One community. Your name on it for a year.

Tell us you're interested and we'll size the exposure for this specific school, show you exactly where your logo sits, and answer anything before you commit to a thing.
