Board & Staff

This group of Christian business men and women have supported Sports World for more than 42 years, sharing Doc Eshleman’s vision and legacy. Our board members are vital to sharing our Message of Hope with today’s students and helping them find answers to the problems they struggle with on a daily basis. Our prayer is that millions of young people will continue to hear our athletes share how they found hope amid their own life struggles and that young people will be encouraged to make right and positive choices.

Meet Our Staff

We are a group of people who see a vital need to reach students while they are young, helping to encourage them in making healthy, positive choices for their lives. Our prayer is that through sharing our lives and what we have learned from our own decisions, both good and bad, we can help young people avoid the mistakes caused by poor choices.
