Your Athlete Succeeding in Sport and Beyond!
The Banner Player Development Program is more than a course—it’s a community built to equip middle and high school athletes to lead with purpose, grow alongside like-minded peers, and thrive both on and off the field.
Before I was a QB at South Carolina, I was just like your athlete—full of big dreams and even bigger questions.
That’s why I created Banner Player Development—a monthly mentorship experience for middle and high school athletes who want to:
Play college sports and learn from those who’ve done it
Grow in character and real-world skills that last a lifetime
This isn’t just a course—it’s a complete athlete development program built by former college and pro athletes who’ve walked the road your athlete is on.
When you enroll in the program, you will receive:
1) Video-Based Modules
The program includes 12 powerful themes, taught over time in four phases (Modules 1–3, 4–6, 7–9, and 10–12). Each theme includes:
Video lessons with Jay and guest athletes
Guided Q&As
Printable worksheets
Each phase is released in 60-day intervals. Stay subscribed to unlock the next phase!
2. Live Group Coaching Calls
Join Jay and guest mentors for exclusive live sessions scheduled throughout the year that are designed to:
Motivate and inspire
Provide real-time coaching
Connect athletes on the same journey
TYou’ll be notified before each call—no session gets missed.
3) Supportive Athlete Community
Your athlete gets access to a private community of:
Middle & high school athletes focused on growth
A peer group committed to becoming their best
Encouraging voices who are real about the journey
This is where transformation happens—in real conversation with real athletes.

How It Works
To provide a strong foundation and avoid overwhelming content drops, we’ve designed the program in four powerful phases:
Phase 1: Foundations of Identity and Leadership (Modules 1-3)
Discover who you are beyond the game, gain an honest perspective on college athletics, and build the humility and character that true leadership requires.
Phase 2: Habits, Purpose, and Personal Growth (Modules 4-6)
Develop the mindset, discipline, and academic focus to show up with excellence, lead with purpose, and grow into more than just an athlete.
Phase 3: Building Your Platform and Opening Doors (Modules 7-9)
Learn how to build relationships, represent yourself with integrity, and prepare for the opportunities and responsibilities that come with influence and NIL.
Phase 4: Preparing for the Road Ahead (Modules 10-12)
Get equipped with real-world skills—like interviewing, career readiness, and lifelong leadership—so you can lead with confidence long after the final whistle.
“Every parent wants their child to thrive and the Banner program will play a pivotal piece in my children's future. The combination of faith and leadership development will transform their lives not only as athletes but as people. I am grateful for this opportunity.”
- Roland Trout, Parent of two athletes enrolled in our online course
College-Level Development. Now for Middle & High School Athletes.
When I played football at South Carolina, I had access to leadership development and personal growth training most athletes never see. It shaped me—and I wanted younger athletes to have that same access.
The Banner Player Development Program is the result of:
6 years of playing and coaching experience
Collaborations with top leaders in college athletics
A desire to help athletes thrive in sport and in life
This program gives your athlete the mindset, skills, and confidence to succeed—no matter where their path leads.
-Jay Urich, Former USC QB/WR
Equip your athlete with leadership, character, and confidence that lasts long after the final whistle.
