Beyond Sports: Bringing Athletics and Academics Together

Our Mission
The Beyond Sports Foundation (BSF) mission is to support disadvantaged high school and collegiate Chicagoland student-athletes by combining strong mentoring with academic, athletic, social, and career programs to produce responsible young adults who can achieve life-long success.

Our Vision
To put athletically gifted students who face serious personal obstacles on the path to achieving lifelong success both on -and- off the playing field, partnering with them as they work toward turning their dreams of earning a college education into a reality.

Our Values
  • We believe that education is a vital tool needed by student athletes to improve their quality of life and achieve lifelong success.
  • We commit to providing continuous support, encouragement, empathy, and guidance each BSF student participant.
  • We expect constant commitment, dedication, honesty, perseverance and hard work from each BSF student athlete.
  • We pledge our unwavering support for all BSF student athletes and will continue to provide counseling, motivation, support, and resources to assist them in overcoming obstacles and challenges and achieve personal success.

Resolution
BSF believes in equal opportunities. We believe that dreams do come true through hard work, dedication, and perseverance. BSF creates an atmosphere that allows a student-athlete to achieve above and beyond their wildest dreams. This consistent, supportive environment provides a unique structure where athletes can thrive under positive guidance. At BSF, we enrich the mental, physical, and emotional health of our student-athletes.
