With So many talented athletes,
Why do Only a few become great?

Simple.  Many of these athletes often struggle to make meaning of their athletic and life experiences.  Many youth participating in sports reach various stages of transition where they feel overwhelmed, stressed and even confused.  This is often a sign of an unbalanced lifestyle, and this frequently leads to very poor decision-making.  Many of these young athletes are thrust into a college, and later professional, sports environment only to discover that they lack the knowledge, exposure and maturity to thrive in a fast paced and demanding world.

By the numbers – TOO MANY missed opportunities

Each year hundreds of young men and women on campuses across the country fail to take advantage of educational opportunities.  A college degree remains the most viable means of securing financial stability for both self and family. However, each year many student-athletes do not take full advantage of the opportunities created by their athletic ability.
