1955 - 2020

Here's the problem.

International athletes often struggle to acclimate to their new environment in the United States. Coach BJ would receive calls daily from players seeking assistance in the following areas:

Cultural Adaptation - Overcoming language barriers, navigating different cities, where to meet new people

Development Resources - Connecting with skill development trainers, open gyms, local mentors, and more

Financial Support - Understanding the US financial system, personal budgeting, grocery shopping, financial planning

Here's our solution.

We're seeking to build a support network of benefactors across the world that are passionate about helping international students & athletes thrive in the US way of life.

Mentoring - Frequent conversation helps tremendously to overcome language barriers

Daily Needs - College students are needy. We want families that can assist with groceries, school supplies, and miscellaneous daily needs

Local "Host" Family - Ultimately, we seek to provide the things that students would feel more comfortable asking a family member rather than their university

Join our community

We are looking to build a support community that covers the world.

Thank you!
