AT F.A.B. WE ENCOURAGE PLAYING SPORTS!
WE BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR STUDENT ATHLETES TO:
1. USE SPORTS TO OBTAIN SCHOLARSHIPS TOWARDS A POST SECONDARY EDUCATION!
2. NETWORK AND ADOPT SKILLS SUCH AS LEADERSHIP, TEAMWORK, AND COMMUNICATION!
3. PURSUE PLAYING PROFESSIONALLY WITH A PLAN FOR SUCCESS BEYOND SPORTS!
4. HAVE FUN, STAY HEALTHY, AND MAKE LASTING MEMORIES ALONG THE WAY!
In a NCAA study, when the student athletes were asked what they wished coaches and athletic administrators would talk more about, the most common response from 41 percent of male athletes and 61 percent of female athletes, was preparing for a non-sporting career after college. In one of Wendling's studies, funded by an NCAA grant, 55 percent of the more than 500 former college athletes interviewed felt confused about what to do after college and had not yet established plans for their next career.*https://www.ncaa.org/F.A.B.
