Since 2005, Athletics and Beyond, a nonprofit organization located in Denver's Montebello neighborhood, has helped student-athletes succeed on the field and in careers outside of athletics. via MicahSmith_TV
“Around the time we created the organization, no one was talking to our kids about being a sports attorney, no one was talking about who’s the apparel designer, no one was talking to them about who’s the engineer who runs the board at the games,” said Narcy Jackson, Athletics and Beyond executive director.
“We’re not sexy for a lot of the kids," he said."Our competitive market is very simple. They give you the flashy uniforms, and all you do is either athletic training or you do seven-on-seven." Emmanuel Pregnon, University of Wyoming right guard and Athletics and Beyond athlete, said he loves playing football.
