What We Do
Educational Development
Our educational emphasis lies with the things that weren’t necessarily taught in traditional classroom settings. We want to provide and developing knowledge in subjects personal finance, investing, networking, marketing, and other subjects vital to being successful in today’s rapidly evolving world.
Athletic Development

We’ll also provide our youth with the proper tools and knowledge to prepare them for the off-field/court aspects including recruiting, nutrition, and the athletic/academic balance.
Career Development
We want to take the knowledge we’ve gained over the years as young entrepreneurs and pay it forward so that the next generation is equipped with the nuances of areas such as interview etiquette, attire, building networking prowess, etc so that they have every tool to create a better life for themselves, their families, and their communities.
