Our Mission
NEXT STEP with Passion and Purpose is dedicated to guiding high school athletes through the transition to college athletics, ensuring they are well-prepared to face the challenges of being a college athlete and student.
​
​Success for athletes extends beyond college acceptance. Change can put young people in crisis once they step foot onto a college campus. We can prepare them for this change by acknowledging the emotional hurdles they may face during the shift from home to collegiate athletics. Supporting student athletes through this transition, rather than merely pushing forward, is crucial for their successful adjustment into college life.
Our comprehensive, step-by-step 8-week Readiness and Preparation Course, paired with 8 months of on-campus support, is tailored to empower young women and men for the rigors of college life as athletes. We aim to reduce instances of feeling overwhelmed, homesick, tired, and longing to return home. Additionally, we provide transition support from college to the real world. Our mission is to support and empower student-athletes, helping them thrive both on and off the field.
