This is a mentoring project designed to connect youth in the Baton Rouge community involved in athletics with a college athlete, professional athlete or retired athlete who shares skills and a passion for a specific sport. The concept is based on the idea that many young people today look to sports super stars as role models from a far, but never truly experience the real effects of having a real life athlete mentor to model the appropriate work ethic, character or just one-on-one interactions with someone who can attest to the real journey of an athlete.
