Universal Athlete Program
The Universal Athlete Program provides high school and college athletes physical, spiritual, and mental training. This program offers FREE sports training, sports education, and discipleship to student athletes in the Houston area (mainly Katy & Cypress but we will serve any student athlete). Many athletes today lack training in character and spiritual development which is a dire need in our society. Especially with the rise of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), our goal is to change the athlete’s focus and goals from attaining riches and fame to valuing the development of godly character and morals. By developing good character and strong morals, this program will help the youth increase their earning potential and enhance their quality of life. This training, sports education, and discipleship can lead to sustainable and meaningful entrepreneurship or employment in their future. The sports education in nutrition and supplements are very important as it can help athletes make the right choices when they are possibly tempted to take illegal performance enhancing steroids. In high school, Coach Mike was tempted by a teammate to use an illegal performance enhancing steroid. One of the reasons why Coach Mike declined was because, due to his education, he knew that there was a natural and legal way to perform better. Coach Mike strongly advocates for the all-natural athlete and abhors the use of illegal steroids. Nutrition and supplement knowledge can help other athletes make the right choice. Coach Mike is one of the few trainers in the Houston area that combines athletic training, sports education and discipleship into one program.
