LIFE BEYOND THE GAME
When the pads come off, the lessons keep going.
Our off-field programs build the mindset and tools needed for life after the game — financial literacy, career readiness, and mentorship. We teach young athletes how to manage money, navigate opportunities, and carry themselves like professionals in any room they walk into.

CAREER READINESS
Through hands-on workshops, resume building, interview prep, and mentorship, participants learn how to present themselves professionally and pursue meaningful careers. We’re preparing our youth to walk into every room ready equipped with purpose, presence, and the tools to win in life.

MENTORSHIPS
Through real conversations, guidance, and lived experience, mentors help our youth navigate challenges, build confidence, and prepare for life beyond the game. It’s about more than advice it’s about connection, growth, and showing student-athletes that success goes far beyond the scoreboard.
