Why this exists

Talent is everywhere. Open doors are not.

Sport is one of the biggest stages in our culture. But the people who lead in sport don’t always reflect the people who play it. This apprenticeship opens doors for leaders from communities that have too often been left out, and it’s open to anyone who shares that heart.

What makes it different

Built different

Three things shape every part of the program, and who you become in it.

01

Mentored by the best

Get time with leaders who have done what you hope to do. Real coaching, real feedback, and role models who’ve walked your road.

02

Rooted in Jesus

Your skills matter. Your heart matters more. Grow in your walk with God through [Bible study, prayer, and one-on-one discipleship: confirm details].

03

Real reps, not observation

You won’t sit on the bench. You’ll get:

Mentorship at the center

Learn from leaders who've walked it

Tony Dungy and Clark Kellogg have spent their lives pouring into young leaders. This program carries that on. You’ll have access to:
