INVEST IN our vision
PILR is addressing a critical gap in youth sports: the lack of professionalized training for coaches to recognize and respond to the mental, emotional, and systemic challenges their athletes face. By training coaches to act as agents of change, we’re building a model that fosters individual and community well-being.
We are in the early stages of development and actively securing funding to bring this vision to life. If you’re an investor, grant program officer, or donor passionate about creating lasting change in youth sports, we invite you to connect with us to explore funding opportunities.
We envision a world where every athlete Is fully supported by their coach, team, and community.
The Problem
Coaches lack support to address athletes’ off-field challenges.
Only 19% of youth sports coaches feel confident in addressing off-the-field stressors affecting their athletes (Anderson-Butcher & Bates, 2022).
Although 82% of coaches are driven by a desire to help young people, they struggle without professional learning resources to support their players’ holistic well-being. This lack of training leaves them unprepared to address mental health challenges, unprocessed trauma, and systemic barriers like pay-to-play fees and inadequate practice and game facilities, ultimately hindering student-athletes’ access to sports and its benefits.
PILR supports coaches in developing tools to help their players understand and navigate daily challenges, on and off the playing field.
PILR’S SOLUTION
A Commitment to OPTIMIZING the impact of sports.
We provide a coaching model that addresses systemic barriers impacting under-resourced student-athletes, training coaches and athletic leaders to recognize these challenges and develop solutions that promote wellness. Our programs focus on empowering coaches to understand their players’ experiences and build the skills needed to help them overcome both individual and structural obstacles.
WE DON’T PRODUCE CHAMPIONS.
WE MOLD THEM. WE DEFEND THEM.
WE REVEAL THEM.
WE REVEAL THEM.
