Heroic Efforts Rising Over Humanity
Academic Support
HEROH Foundation was created to provide Student-Athletes with support in the classroom. A percentage of student-athletes perform below average in the classroom due to a variety of reasons. One particular reason that is consistent is a lack of support and resources. As it pertains to academic support we will provide two resources to students: t
utoring for specific subjects such as Math, English, Science, etc. All of our academic programs and resources will be created and implemented by Dr. Marlon James, Assistant Professor at the University of Loyola. Currently, we are concentrating on specific academic areas with intentions of expanding our focus to encompass others. Mentorship
A part of our mission is to aid student-athletes with the unique challenges they encounter. Each student who becomes a part of our foundation will be paired with a mentor who has similar characteristics or who may have faced the same obstacles. The student will be able to communicate with their Mentor to ask questions on a variety of areas of life. The role of the mentor is to help guide the student-athlete, to develop their decision making skills, and build confidence on and off the playing field. Athletic Training
The HEROH Foundation has created a rigorous training program designed to help develop student-athletes both physically & mentally. We will implement two different forms of athletic training: speed and strength training and also football position specific training. With the assistance of our Board of Directors, which is a collection of current and former professional athletes, we will create and coordinate programs and events that will aid in the development of our student-athletes but will also provide them with opportunities to be successful in life.Community InvolvementOne of the goals of the HEROH Foundation is to uplift the community by providing resources to advocate growth and prosperity. Our Student- Athletes will participate in community service efforts to improve the community. We will also be partnering with different organizations whose goals and missions align with those of the HEROH Foundation.
