We Get it!
Some might say, "You get what?” Consider the fact that we live in a competitive society that says you can be like those amazing people, have all those nice things and go to all of those wonderful places but when you lack the resources and the opportunities to achieve, attaining success can seem impossible.
At Good Sports – USA, we get the dream and we get that the overwhelming majority of the youth with "that dream" of becoming the professional athlete or the celebrity will not likely achieve that goal. BUT, we see and believe in that youth's motivation as being their primary"vehicle of opportunity" and with the appropriate guidance and resources they can be successful.
Good Sports - USA has embraced our youth's motivation and has designed trademarked programming that offers participating youth the opportunity to meet sports and entertainment professionals through exciting, educational workshops and explorations focused on non-player sports & entertainment careers.
Good Sports - USA youth are matched with an adult mentor who is tasked with assisting, encouraging, and supporting the youth's commitment to the following Good Sports - USA expectations:
Academic Improvement,
Learning about the Employment Process
Participating in Character Development
Learning about Career Planning
Participating in Life Skills Development
Participating in Career Explorations
Participating in Service Learning
In addition, each participating youth's parent/guardian is assigned a Good Sports - USA case manager who will assess the basic needs of the parent/guardian and provide them with a referral to available community resources.
