Goals For Life

On Sunday, September 18th, 2016 Murow Development Consultants had the privilege of being a sponsor for the Goals For Life fundraiser.  Steve Murow serves as the Chairman of the Board for Goals For Life, and his Murow Development Consultants team was glad to support yesterday by volunteering and enjoying the festivities in Downtown Long Beach.

Goals For Life, a 501(c)3 nonprofit foundation, is an educational youth development program that, in coordination with local school districts, teaches potentially at-risk youth the skills and strategies that are necessary for success in life.  Goals For Life has a team of former professional football players who have been carefully trained to deliver a detailed 24 week curriculum in public schools.

Goals For Life sends the former athletes into schools to facilitate goal setting workshops with students who demonstrate maladaptive behaviors, as well as any students wishing to learn success principles.  Drawing on their personal experiences, the athletes speak of the enthusiasm, drive and determination that were primary factors in achieving their goals.  Goals For Life athlete mentors teach students that what applies to the world of sports, also applies to education and to life.  The students discover that qualities such as integrity, preparation, high self-esteem, perseverance and the confidence to succeed are a winning combination in all fields and endeavors.

For 25 years, Goals For Life has utilized the talents of former professional athletes to deliver a goal-oriented curriculum structured to motivate students and ensure that they understand, embrace and practice success principles.  Goals for Life was founded by Reggie Berry, former NFL player with the San Diego Chargers and a graduate of California State University Long Beach.  After finishing his football career, Reggie became involved in a program focused on teaching goal setting to migrant students; however he wanted a program that would be open to all students.   Reggie’s goal was to create an organization that could involve retired NFL alumni into public schools to mentor at-risk youth for a school year.  In 1989 he founded the nonprofit Goals For Life Foundation.

Reggie believes that the formula for winning in sports also applies to the world of education, business and life.   The mentors teach the kids that a goal is something you want for your future; then they help the students develop their goals and show them how they can win in life.  The players teach the students that everything is a game, so find out what the rules are, stay in bounds and play to win.  GFL has been helping youth

for 25 years.  Over 100 former NFL players have helped change the lives of over 25,000 students.
