The current youth sports system is burning out athletes and failing families. We offer a transformative approach that develops elite athletes with character, mental resilience, and real-world leadership—because the person they become is more important than the player they are.

Built to dismantle toxic sports culture, More Than Ballers Foundation was founded on a simple belief: sports should be a fun tool for athletes, coaches, and families to build, lead, serve, and grow. Our sports culture is obsessed with stats and trophies while neglecting the character, mental wellness, and life skills athletes need to thrive. We exist to change that narrative.
Fundamental skills meet mindset mastery. We teach IQ, defense, leadership, and the habits that shape the whole athlete. The pressure on young athletes is at an all-time high. We provide a critical toolkit of mindfulness techniques, identity workshops, and mentorship to build mental toughness and a strong sense of self beyond the game and online/in-person defense only academies.
Great coaches know the power of more than one voice. Sometimes athletes hear a lesson differently (and it sticks faster) when it comes from another trusted source. We partner with coaches to amplify their vision, understand their goals, and deliver a focused, high-energy session that aligns with what they’re already teaching.
A healthy athlete requires a healthy support system. We are the only organization that actively trains parents and coaches, providing the resources needed to heal the toxic culture from the sidelines to the home. We pour into the grown-ups too. Our circles help adults support youth without burnout, control, or chaos.

"For the first time, I feel like people see me for more than just the points I score. This program taught me that how I lead my teammates is more important than any ranking."
Marcus, Athlete
"The car rides home used to be filled with tension. More Than Ballers gave us the tools to get back on the same team. It's the best investment we've ever made in our son's future, not just his game."
Sarah, Parent
"I was close to quitting. This foundation reminded me why I started coaching. It's not about the trophies; it's about the young men and women we are shaping. This is the future of youth sports."
Coach David
