Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm. . .
As you grow older you will discover that
you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
Mother Teresa
The Calvary ain’t coming. Become your own Calvary. It’s a state of mind. An attitude. It begins with taking stock of where you are, understanding how you got there, and then figuring out the steps necessary to get to where you want to be.
Chris Gardner
To improve is to change;
to be perfect is to change often.
Winston Churchill
There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss contains its own seed; its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.

Testimonials
In our work with governments and agencies nationwide, it's clear that youth development is a key focus. The Lead Change Project is poised to be that crucial initiative that uses sport to ensure the physical, social, emotional and professional well-being for the next generation in Indianapolis and nationwide.
Neelay Bhatt, Vice President - PROS Consulting INC.
The Lead Change Project has already exhibited how structure and culture change can impact youth through sport. Now, it's poised to expand that impact throughout Indianapolis and school districts across the country.
Ryan Vaughn, President - Indiana Sports Corp
There are so many enriching opportunities within the wonderful world of sport and we find it troubling that so few of our inner-city youth are exposed to the benefit(s) that participating provides. Therefore, we support The Lead Change Project. We support the idea of having more of our young people engaged in a sport or extracurricular activity. We support the goal of providing academic, athletic, and emotional support to our student athletes. We support the idea of community engagement and social skill development. Thus, we support The Lead Change Project and its primary goal of developing student-athletes who are also good citizens.
Mark D. Miles, President & CEO - Hulman & Company
I look forward to working with The Lead Change Project to promote social growth and academic improvement for our youth. They deserve this constructive opportunity. We encourage you to keep us engaged as plans progress and thank you for bringing IUPUI to the table for such an important initiative.
Dr. Khaula Murtadha, Vice Chancellor - IUPUI
We support The Lead Change Project’s goal of partnering with members of the Indy Chamber to expose our student-athletes to a variety of professional opportunities they would have not known otherwise. Further, I’m excited to work with The LCP to promote collaborative community service and maximize the opportunity for our student-athletes to give back.
