The Thrive Program at The PAC with JD Health and Wellness is a comprehensive support system for young athletes, created in partnership with schools, health providers and insurance companies to ensure every participant’s holistic well-being without any financial barriers. Our program goes beyond athletic training to include academic support, life skills development, and mental health resources, helping young athletes thrive as balanced individuals.

Key features include:

Sports Development: Focused training in sports fundamentals and performance accountability encourages athletes to pursue excellence through clear goals.
Academic Support: We offer tutoring and guidance to help athletes succeed in the classroom, reinforcing the importance of education in achieving their long-term goals.
Mental Health & Wellness: In collaboration with health providers, we prioritize mental well-being, offering resources and peer support to help athletes manage stress and cultivate a positive mindset.
Workforce Training: Through partnerships with local businesses and health providers, we offer workforce training that equips athletes with valuable job skills, including time management, communication, and teamwork. Our program also provides hands-on work experience and internships, helping participants build a foundation for future careers both within and beyond sports.

With the Thrive Program, young athletes gain a supportive community and access to comprehensive resources that help them grow not only as players but as well-rounded individuals, equipped for life’s challenges with confidence and purpose.
