OUR MISSION
DISCIPLE & DEVELOP YOUNG ATHLETES
Our mission is to walk alongside young athletes through Christ-centered mentorship, teaching them the bigger life lessons involved in sports.
About the Mission
Our mission starts with building real relationships. We believe in earning the right to talk to young athletes about God—not by preaching at them, but by showing up, being consistent, and truly caring about them.
God created each of us with a place in our hearts that is meant for Him. A lot of kids try to fill that space with things like sports, success, or attention. But the truth is, our worth is not based on how well we perform, and we can’t earn our way to heaven.
Through Christ-centered mentorship, Coach Baz walks through life with these young men, showing them what God’s love looks like in a real and practical way. He helps them understand that sports are important, but they are not everything. Sports are a tool to teach discipline, character, and life lessons.
Our goal is to help these athletes grow into strong men—men who have faith, make good choices, and are ready for life beyond the field… beyond the whistle.
6-Week Curriculum includes
-
Who am I beyond sports?
-
How do I build habits that help me grow on and off the field?
-
How can I lead others by my actions, attitude, and character?
-
How do I stay steady and make good choices when things get tough?
-
What is my purpose outside of sports, and how can I keep God at the center?
-
How do I live out what I believe in my daily life, not just talk about it?
Going Beyond the Whistle
Beyond the Whistle Ministries is a Christian 501C3 non-profit organization grounded in biblical principles. We aim to develop the next generation of God-honoring leaders who excel on and off the field.
Our Athletes
Young men (ages 14+, High School and beyond) who want to better themselves or who may be mentally stuck in their sport, or in life.
Our Services
We provide one-on-one mentorship through weekly meetings, starting with an initial evaluation to understand each athlete’s mindset, identity, strengths, and areas for growth. From there, we set personalized goals and guide them through our 6-week curriculum, “Who Am I Beyond Sports?” We also offer opportunities for community service and support athletes through the college recruiting process, helping them grow both on and off the field.
Your Support
When you give to support Beyond the Whistle Ministries, we want you to know that your finances are stewarded well. Your donation goes to our full-time ministry salaries, part-time support staff on and off the field, as well as curriculum resources and merchandise.
