MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
On-field success is rooted in off-field decision making
At Mission Primed, we believe on-field success is rooted in off-field decision making. Your character is the driving force in having the ability to carry out the actions necessary to achieve your goals. Building a positive character is a process that you must own and it starts with honestly assessing yourself with these three questions:
​
1. Am I willing to commit to my goals?
2. What are the sacrifices I need to make to achieve my goals?
3. What is my plan to execute?
​
Our goal at Mission Primed is to guide you through these questions and this journey to unlock your potential. Utlizing the Mission Primed Philosophy and Curriculum, Each MP athlete will be educated in our Pillars and Principles. They will have the unique opportunity to engage with our staff and critically understand navigating academics, recruiting guidance, film review and breakdown, practice and game performance, and the adversity we know high school student-athletes face.
