United Student-Athletes

Because no kid should have to figure out the game alone.

The heart of it

I was a student-athlete, so I know what sports can give you — and what it feels like when something's missing. My dad coaches, our whole family sees life through the game, and one thing he always says stuck with me: you don't win on one play, and you don't lose on one either — you keep showing up for the next one

I started United Student-Athletes in 2022 because every young athlete deserves someone in their corner telling them exactly that.

What we stand for

  • Mental health — making it okay to not carry the pressure alone

  • Academic equity & tutoring — being an athlete shouldn't cost you your education

  • Protection from exploitation — knowing your rights, including NIL

  • Mentoring & coaching — someone a few steps ahead who shows up and believes in you

  • Community & belonging — a team that has your back, on and off the field

United Student-Athletes is growing — and becoming an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2026.
