About Us

Soul of the South Sports was founded in 2022 by an educator and a firefighter who share a deep belief in the power of education, discipline, and opportunity. Built at the intersection of athletics and academics, Soul of the South Sports exists to support student-athletes not only on the court or field, but in life beyond it.
 
We understand the impact of opportunity because we've lived it. One founder pursued higher education through an athletic scholarship, while we both watched firsthand as our child earned both academic and athletic scholarships. Those experiences shaped our commitment to helping students across pathways that lead to growth, stability, and long-term success, without the burden of unnecessary educational debt.
We believe knowledge is the coolest uniform anyone can wear and that when students are equipped with education, responsibility, and support, they are prepared for anything that comes next.
Soul of the South Sports invests in students who demonstrate academic commitment, leadership potential, and integrity. Whether their future includes college athletics, the workforce, or continued education, our mission is the same: to remove barriers, open doors, and help students dream it, build it, and ultimately own it.

Soul of the South Sports serves Louisiana schools and communities. All contributions directly support scholarship awards and program initiatives aligned with our mission.
