Mentoring Student-Athletes for Life
At Goal 13, we believe mentoring creates a ripple effect:
Student-athletes grow into well-rounded individuals better equipped to face life's challenges on and off the field. This, in turn, strengthens communities by empowering future generations.

How our Mentorship Program Works
Goal 13 believes some of the most meaningful growth happens through relationships.
Student-athletes completing the Character Education Video Series are paired with volunteer mentors who provide guidance, encouragement, perspective, and support throughout the experience.
Mentors meet weekly with their student-athletes to watch the assigned video, discuss its key themes, and connect those lessons to real-life experiences. These conversations create space for young athletes to ask questions, share challenges, celebrate progress, and learn from a trusted adult who is invested in their growth.
While the curriculum provides the foundation, the relationship makes the experience personal.
Our hope is that these connections extend beyond the lessons themselves and help student-athletes build confidence, accountability, leadership, and a stronger understanding of the person they want to become.
