At Athletes Meeting Excellence (AME), our mission is to empower youth through education, mentorship, and intentional programming that supports both personal development and community well-being.

We are proud to introduce the AME FOR(e) the Future Pediatric Patient Wellness Initiative, a youth-focused wellness effort designed specifically to support children in healthcare environments by enhancing emotional comfort, engagement, and positive mindset development during medical visits.

 

Supporting the Pediatric Patient Experience

Healthcare visits can often be overwhelming for children and families. This initiative was created to help improve that experience by providing meaningful, calming, and developmentally supportive engagement tools within pediatric care settings.

The goal is simple:

To support emotional wellness and positive developmental messaging for children during their healthcare experience.

 

Program Overview

Pediatric Wellness Coloring Book

The AME FOR(e) the Future coloring book is a patient engagement tool designed to:

  • Support emotional comfort during clinical visits
  • Encourage positive mindset development
  • Reinforce confidence, resilience, and self-worth
  • Provide a calming and constructive activity during healthcare experiences

The AME FOR(e) the Future coloring book initiative was introduced with community volunteers supporting youth engagement and positive developmental messaging through creative wellness tools. Patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta were among the first to receive copies during an early pediatric wellness activation.


“Good Better Best” Mindset Wristbands

The “Good Better Best” wristbands serve as a simple daily reinforcement of positive growth:

Good. Better. Best. Never let it rest until your good is better and your better is best.

These wristbands are designed to:

  • Reinforce positive mindset habits
  • Encourage personal growth and resilience
  • Provide a take-home reminder of encouragement beyond the clinic

The “Good Better Best” wristbands were developed as part of the AME FOR(e) the Future youth wellness initiative, created to reinforce positive mindset, personal growth, and leadership development among youth participants. These tools serve as daily reminders of progress, resilience, and intentional character development.


Pilot Initiative: Pediatric Clinic-Based Implementation

This initiative is structured as a pilot program within select pediatric healthcare environments, with a focus on measurable patient engagement outcomes.

The pilot phase allows AME and potential partners to evaluate:

  • Patient engagement impact
  • Emotional and behavioral response
  • Family and caregiver feedback
  • Scalability across additional clinical locations

 

Focus on Youth Wellness and Community Health

The AME FOR(e) the Future initiative aligns with broader efforts to support:

  • Youth mental and emotional wellness
  • Positive childhood development
  • Health equity and access to supportive resources
  • Improved patient experience in clinical environments

This initiative is designed to complement existing healthcare efforts focused on holistic patient care, particularly for pediatric populations.

 

Partnership Opportunity

AME is actively seeking healthcare and community partners interested in supporting innovative approaches to pediatric patient wellness.

Partnership opportunities may include:

  • Supporting distribution of wellness materials in pediatric clinics
  • Co-branded patient engagement tools
  • Investment in pilot implementation and expansion
  • Collaboration on youth wellness programming

Looking Ahead

The AME FOR(e) the Future initiative represents a growing commitment to bridging youth development, education, and healthcare support.

As the program expands, AME will continue developing tools and resources that strengthen emotional wellness, learning engagement, and positive development for young people in both clinical and community environments.

Together, we can create more supportive and positive healthcare experiences for children and families—one moment at a time.
