About UERO Step

Let’s begin with the name UERO step and what exactly that name means to me and the organization.

 

UERO step Is not only a play on words with the worldwide known layup in basketball called the “Euro step” but in fact, stands for Utilization of Educational Recovery Options.

​

Our goal is to help teach you how to utilize educational options in order to help give you the best chance at a strong mental health. These options and activities stem from a healthy, athletic point of view that may help not only gain control over one’s mental health issues but, leave you with a stronger, healthier body while doing so.

 

Here at UERO step we break down and give you those steps in order for you to accomplish those goals, taking you one step closer to being mentally elite off and on the basketball court.

About Me

Thank you for taking the step to learn about our organization.

My name is Tyrel Mitchell-Edwards and I am the founder of UERO step.

I would like to start by talking about our mission. When I say “our” organization, this is because I am hoping for you to become a part of the UERO step family by helping us spread new and healthy alternatives when it comes to battling mental health.

I am a former professional athlete, and NCAA Division 1 scholarship player. I've dealt with mental health throughout my university and professional basketball career. My personal story is what drove me to bring a safe space to give others the tools they need to be proactive in identifying their health triggers and coping skills to work through their mindset. I commend professional athletes like Demar DeRozen and Chris Boucher for openly speaking out about their mental health struggles. Their testimonies have helped advocate and push a new culture of mental health awareness for athletes around the world.
