Why a Division 1 Athlete Mentor?
We believe the best way to support a young student-athlete is to provide them with an experienced role model they can admire and see as a friend.
"Never having played soccer myself, I can't relate to what my kid is going through and it is nice for him to have someone that relates to him that is older and more experienced, but still young enough to be cool!"

Athletic Mentorship Program FAQs
What is the recommended age of a student-athlete in the Athletic Mentorship Program?
The Athletic Mentorship Program is for student-athletes between the ages of 10 and 18. This program provides athletic support and direction and is specifically designed to help younger student-athletes.
Can my student-athlete continue to meet with their mentor after their program is over?
Yes. After the first 8 sessions it is common to renew the program for another 8 weeks.
Does my student-athlete have to follow the suggested program timelines?
No. We have created a timeline based on what most student-athletes have done before. If you are looking for help more or less frequently, we can modify the meeting durations and frequencies to meet your needs.
Does my student-athlete have to be pursuing a Division 1 University to sign-up?
No. In fact, they not need to plan to play sports in college. Our program helps with all aspects of your student-athlete's athletic journey. Many are simply looking for an inspirational peer to peer mentor.
