Because your dream doesn’t end when sports are over.

Playing at South Carolina gave me more than a place to compete. It gave me leadership training, mentors, and people whose job was preparing us for the day football stopped.
Those resources exist at the college level. They rarely make it down to high school. And for most athletes, high school is the last stop — if the only thing a program builds is performance, they walk into adulthood with an identity that ended on graduation day.
“When my playing career ended, I had to start from ground zero. Without baseball, I didn’t know who I was.”
Keir Meredith, former Clemson baseball playerBanner brings what I had at South Carolina to the athletes who will never play there. Not instead of the sport — because of it.
— Jay Urich, Former Univ. of South Carolina QB/WR & Founder of Banner Player Development
