OUR GAME OF LIFE PROGRAM
Inspire, Motivate, and Empower is our slogan, our promise and our mission. It is centered on nurturing our student athletes and providing access and opportunities that will support them in reaching their full potential. Our program offers services that provide young Jocks with the drive needed for them to experience success on and off the playing field. Through fun and engaging activities, Game of Life delivers programing designed to help student athletes take charge of their personal health and wellness. In addition, the program emphasizes education, hands-on life skill experiences and exposure to community service opportunities.
To assist in the delivery of our Game of Life Programing, Successful Jocks have partnered with The Elite Football Network, Athletes Edge, and Power 5 Football Training located in the metro Detroit area. They have helped student-athletes develop both on and off the field for over 27 years. Their staff have a proven formula for preparing and mentoring high school athletes to excel mentally, socially, academically and athletically, making them strong candidates for athletic scholarships. Some of their services include football skill and speed development, College visitation and exposure opportunities, Recruitment strategies and academic support.
OUR SO MANY BLESSINGS (SMB) PROGRAM
Football fans may assume "SMB" is an acronym for Sean Murphy-Bunting, and it is. But it is so much more. “SMB” is an acknowledgement that So Many Blessings have been bestowed on Sean, our president and “Team Captain”. Sean’s goal is to be a positive role model active and visible in the community, sharing these blessings and uplifting others.
Our So Many Blessings Program emphasizes creating positive community impact. This program delivers fun and engaging activities and needed resources to youth in underrepresented communities. The goal is to inspire in our youth a positive change for the Soul, Mind & Body (SMB): increasing self-esteem and self-worth (Soul), providing exposure to positive role models and experiences (Mind), and intentional focusing on physical activity through sports (Body).
