Our Story...
Welcome to Beyond The Cleats, Inc.
​
Our journey to Beyond the Cleats began with a realization: there had to be a better way. We observed the pervasive herd mentality within the sports world, where young athletes were often encouraged to conform and follow the crowd. This conformity, while seemingly harmless, stifled individuality and hindered personal growth. The passion stems from not only wanting change for our daughters, but also all the other young female athletes out there.
Determined to break the mold, we set out on a mission to redefine the narrative surrounding sports culture. While we wholeheartedly believe in the importance of winning and competing, we also recognize the limitations of a winning-only mentality, and trophy chasing, especially for the vast majority of female athletes. Statistics painted a stark picture: only a small percentage of these athletes would go on to play at higher levels, and even fewer would achieve professional status.
Armed with this knowledge, we embarked on a journey to provide a more holistic approach to athletic development. We understand that true success extends far beyond the scoreboard. It encompasses the cultivation of essential life skills, resilience, and personal growth. Our belief in the importance of winning and competing is matched only by our commitment to preparing young women to thrive in early adulthood, where the real victories are won off the ball field.
At Beyond the Cleats, with every program and training we offer, we are not just shaping athletes; we are nurturing future leaders, innovators, and changemakers. Our story is one of breaking free from the confines of conventional wisdom and forging a new path—one where every young woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential, both on and off the field.
At BEYOND THE CLEATS, we believe that every young woman has the power to define her own future and change the world.
