It’s not just about coaching them on the field—it’s about ensuring they can stand strong in life. Athletes in out-of-home care often face the unique challenge of navigating life without the family support that so many rely on. Yet, these challenges don’t diminish their potential; they sharpen it. But the key is providing the right guidance.
At Winners Edge, we empower athletes by teaching essential semi-independent living skills, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth. Using trauma-informed care, we provide athletes with the tools they need to thrive—both in competition and in life.
These skills can include
-
Financial Management - Teaching athletes how to budget, manage bills, open accounts, and plan for their financial future.
-
Property Care - Helping them understand the responsibilities of maintaining a home, from cleanliness to dealing with property management.
-
Health and Wellbeing - Educating athletes on the importance of nutrition, hygiene, and accessing health care services.
-

-
Daily Living Skills - From grocery shopping and meal planning to basic home maintenance, we equip them with everyday skills to support independence.
By building these skills, we ensure that each athlete is prepared for life off the field, helping them transition smoothly into adulthood while continuing their journey to success. Because real empowerment doesn’t come from avoiding life’s challenges, but from mastering them.
