Greensburg, PA – August 25, 2025 – Seton Hill University Athletics is proud to extend its partnership with The Zone, a leading mental health and performance software platform built specifically for athletic programs. This continued collaboration reflects Seton Hill's commitment to providing comprehensive support for the holistic development and well-being of its student-athletes.
Since first adopting The Zone, Seton Hill student-athletes have gained access to on-demand mental health resources, daily wellness check-ins, and performance psychology tools—all through a mobile app created by former student-athletes who understand the unique challenges of college athletics. By embedding these resources directly into their student-athlete experience, Seton Hill has empowered Griffins to better manage stress, build resilience, and sustain peak performance.
In addition to the digital platform, The Zone and Seton Hill have partnered on campus to create meaningful community impact. Last year, The Zone hosted its "Mentally Strong" campus event in collaboration with Mens x Mental, a non-profit 501(c)(3) focused on men's mental health. The event included a mental health awareness game, a men's mental health programming session, and powerful storytelling designed to create community and strengthen the culture of support for Seton Hill's male student-athletes.
A key strength of the ongoing partnership is The Zone's ability to unify care across departments. Through a secure staff dashboard, Seton Hill coaches, athletic trainers, and administrators are able to monitor team wellness trends, enabling proactive and informed care that strengthens both individual development and team culture.
Erik Poldroo, Co-Founder and COO of The Zone, praised Seton Hill's leadership:
"Seton Hill has been a tremendous partner from the beginning. Their team has shown a true dedication to student-athlete care- treating mental health not as an afterthought, but as a vital part of the athletic journey. From our app to in-person events like Mentally Strong, Seton Hill has continued to set the tone for what holistic athlete support should look like. We're proud to keep building alongside them and hope to for years to come."
