Full Story
We collaborate with athletic departments and state associations across the country to strengthen risk management while elevating social-emotional learning (SEL) and college and career readiness (CCR) for student-athletes. Our track record of successful statewide partnerships informs everything we build going forward, allowing us to scale what works while adapting to each state’s unique culture, policies, and priorities.
Our work helps you:
-
Reduce behavioral, academic, and eligibility risks through SEL-centered programming that supports compliance, safety, and student-athlete well-being.
-
Integrate CCR into the athletic experience so students clearly see the connection between sports, schooling, and opportunities beyond the game.
-
Deliver mentoring and counseling that reinforces leadership, decision-making, mental wellness, and identity development on and off the field or court.
Drawing on proven collaborations with state leaders, we are focused on the future, expanding access, deepening impact, and ensuring that student-athletes are not only protected, but fully equipped to thrive in college, career, and life.
"A dream must be attached to a plan of action to prevent it from becoming a fantasy."

Our purpose is to help assist those in need of guidance.
What we do
It has been said that opportunity follows adversity. Passion to Purpose, (“P2P”) was birthed out of its founder’s storm to realize his purpose, as revealed through his passions, hence the name, “Passion to Purpose.”
We partner with athletic departments and state associations to strengthen risk management while advancing social-emotional learning (SEL) and college and career readiness (CCR) for student-athletes.
Our programs are designed to help you:
-
Reduce behavioral, academic, and eligibility risks through structured SEL-infused programming that aligns with your codes of conduct and participation policies.
-
Embed CCR into the student-athlete experience, connecting athletics to postsecondary pathways, workforce skills, and life after sports.
-
Provide targeted mentoring and counseling that supports mental wellness, decision-making, leadership, and identity beyond the game.
By serving as a specialized external resource, we help departments and associations close critical gaps—so student-athletes are not only compliant and protected, but also equipped to thrive in college, career, and life.
