The Story
In 2009, a passionate mother sat at her kitchen table with 5 “at-risk” high school football players that had Division 1 scholarship offers all over the country that were unfortunately academically ineligible. Her daunting task was to “get them eligible” in 8 short weeks through endless hours of tutoring. Through this process, she realized that what they really lacked was not academic aptitude, but the life skills needed to succeed in the classroom … and in life. Her mission began to “even the playing field” by giving ALL youth the same academic, social and emotional foundation to set them up for success.
