Changing the world through sports​

CAMPUS
College is the place where the foundation is laid for the kind of leader a person wants to become.  It also represents the strategic place from which world leaders will be launched, and where past movements that changed the world have begun.  On the college campus, we have a diverse concentration of people and the locker rooms of the collegiate athletic department are often the most diverse places on those campuses.  Across the country athletic departments are one of the primary drivers of campus culture and school pride, athletes and coaches have a unique platform to influence those they contact on and off campus. We are seeing campuses transformed through values-based character coaching, providing optional faith-based gatherings and support, and providing resources and engagements for student-athlete leadership development.  

CHARACTER COACHING
With an emphasis on leadership development and spiritual training, we equip athletes and coaches with tools to maximize their influence on campus and in the community. We help student-athletes navigate the challenges and temptations of being a student-athlete, and we train leaders to add value to their teams and communities. For leaders looking to serve athletic teams, we can also provide training opportunities for volunteers looking to serve college and high school teams as character coaches.  
 
COLLABORATION
The spirit of unity and peace will guide our efforts to collaborate with other organizations serving athletes and coaches in the world of sports.  The average Division I athletic department will have between 400-600+ student-athletes and 100-200+ staff.  One individual or one nonprofit ministry won’t reach everyone.  But by modeling cooperative versus competitive service we can unite with those sharing a mutual desire to serve college athletics.  Together, we can accomplish the miraculous.
 
CHURCH PARTNERSHIPS
The transition to college can be difficult for many student-athletes, and even coaches moving to new cities.  We partner with local churches to help athletes and coaches find communities of faith. Working with local churches to provide resources, meals, discipleship, and ministry opportunities. In doing so, we increase our reach and model unity to a world fractured by division. Since community is vital to growth, and because beliefs drive behavior, we encourage students and coaches to explore their questions of faith and to consider being active, serving members of a local faith community.  

COMPASSION
By partnering with non-profits, charitable organizations and even other athletic ministries, we will send athletes to serve those in need, both locally and around the world.  Love and compassion is the driving force behind our efforts to change the world through sports.
