About Us

Who We Are

Mind the Gael is a mental health awareness platform launching in April 2026, built specifically for female athletes in Ladies Gaelic Football. Through Instagram and a dedicated website, it delivers evidence-based education on mental health, sports psychology, and performance wellbeing — framed around the lived experience of women in sport.

What we're building

Mind the Gael was founded by Emily Phelan, a current Ladies Gaelic footballer with lived experience of mental health challenges in sport. This platform doesn't position itself as a clinical service. It exists to create awareness, reduce stigma, and connect players to the professional support they need — built by someone who is in the dressing room and knows what it feels like to struggle in silence.
