Our Mission
They will know who we are by our love for one another.
​
At The Player Project, our mission is to use soccer as a conduit to go, serve, and love. As a player in our program, we will work to grow and develop you in every aspect of your game, but most importantly you as a person.
​​
We are proudly a Christian organization, and it is our prayer we use the gifts God has given us to serve you. We pray Jesus' love is alive in us and apparent through our words and actions. And we pray our passion for the game and love for others makes a positive impact, whether small or big, to bring joy to your life and change to this world.
​
Additionally, we want to use funds we earn and receive to give back to the soccer community and those who do not have the resources to thrive in their current environment. We want to give opportunity to everyone through soccer and meet everyone right where they are - no matter where they are.
Jesus has called us to love one another, to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to go into all the world - why not do it with a soccer ball at our foot? We at The Player Project will use our resources and abilities to go, serve, and love - one player and one project at a time.
Every sport harbors a universal language that connects the player in each of us regardless of race, religion, sex, nationality, age, language, ability, or creed. It reminds us that we are, all of us, human, and works in progress – a project yet complete.
As coaches and mentors, we are called to serve those seeking guidance in their sport. We have been blessed with the experiences and knowledge as both athletes and coaches, navigating the ins and outs of soccer from youth to professional.
​
Our heart and passion is people and our method to give is through the game. Using sport as a conduit to lead, we have the ability to give a voice to every player – it is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. In fact, coaching players to reach their highest potential as both athletes and good human beings is our calling. Our philosophy is based on competition in context, not on ego. Competition is defined as striving to be our best while bringing out the best in others, using our platform in sports to bring positive change and love to the world – one player project at a time.
