Building Champions for Life

Angela Lewis's accidental discovery as a basketball player at age twelve evolved into a deliberate mission to transform young lives globally through sport. Rather than relying on natural talent, she built excellence through relentless work ethic, competitive environments, and a lifelong commitment to helping others. A friend's death while she worked as a college basketball coach became her turning point, redirecting her from recruiting toward broader impact: writing books, speaking, and mentoring young people—particularly young women—to recognize their inherent power to influence others.Her philosophy centers on three critical elements: belief systems, intentional community building, and reframing failure as predictable growth rather than aberration. Angela demonstrates that confidence builds incrementally through small wins, that adversity accelerates maturity, and that curating positive input shapes your internal environment. Her international experiences proved sport transcends cultural boundaries, reinforcing that young people's opportunities are genuinely global.Angela's core conviction is that young people already possess transformative voice and influence; they simply need permission and models to use it intentionally. Her upcoming children's book, A Ball and a Chance, distills this into one powerful message: It's new, it's hard. It's possible with courage and heart, you'll be unstoppable.

Randy Gage's transformation from incarcerated youth to self-made millionaire demonstrates that prosperity is not determined by circumstances but by the beliefs we hold about ourselves. His Prosperity Operating System identifies how cultural programming, media representation, and familial influence create invisible limiting beliefs about money, success, relationships, and health that sabotage achievement. By recognizing these beliefs as learned constructs rather than truths, individuals can dismantle them and replace them with empowering alternatives that align with their true potential.Genuine transformation requires identifying limiting beliefs, eviscerating them through honest examination, and continuously counter-programming with positive influences to counteract society's relentless negative messaging. Gage emphasizes that this work is ongoing and essential, particularly for young people and entrepreneurs at risk of investing their worth in hollow external achievements rather than in continuous personal growth and meaningful impact on others. The distinction between success and significance—between winning trophies and becoming the person capable of winning them—fundamentally shifts how individuals approach their goals and their lives.To begin this journey of transforming limiting beliefs into empowering ones, visit his website .

Kate Allgood's evolution from elite ice hockey player to performance coach and CEO of Quantum Performance, Inc. reveals a transformative insight: the mind is not supplementary to physical training but the primary lever through which all athletic achievement flows. During her university years, she pivoted from sports management to psychology, driven by fascination with the mind-body connection. This realization became the gateway to her life's work: helping athletes access the zone or flow state, a condition of complete presence where performance becomes effortless despite tremendous physical exertion, achieved through trusting training and surrendering to the experience rather than forcing control.Kate identified a critical gap in modern athletics: while mental training is intellectually accepted as essential, it remains inadequately prioritized in practice. Her work with young athletes aged thirteen and older reflects her recognition that this pivotal period determines mental resilience patterns that ripple throughout an athlete's entire life, both within and beyond sport.For athletes and families seeking to transform their performance through mental training, Kate Allgood's comprehensive resources provide accessible entry points into this transformative work. Her three books—"Get into the Zone," "Fortitude," and "The Athlete Within"—are available on Amazon. To explore Kate's full range of services, visit her website here and discover how she help athletes of all levels bridge the gap between knowing mental training matters and actually implementing it into their daily lives, ultimately unlocking their full potential through the power of a trained mind.

Though unable to serve himself, he has become a leader in USA Cares, focusing on the urgent crisis of veteran suicide and the unique challenges veterans face when transitioning from military to civilian life.
