Your athletes' careers will end. Are you preparing them for what's next?

Banner equips High School AD’s and coaches with the tools, training, and programs to develop athletes beyond the game.

LET'S TALK!

You've given everything to develop great athletes.

But when the jersey comes off for the last time, too many of your kids don't know who they are without the game.

That's not a failure of talent. It's a gap in preparation.

Banner gives coaches and athletic directors the tools to close it.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Jay Urich, M.Ed.

Jay Urich, founder of Banner Player Development, is a former football student-athlete at the University of South Carolina with a passion for empowering young student-athletes to thrive beyond sports. After experiencing firsthand the challenges of balancing athletics, academics, and life, Jay recognized the need for a program that prepared players not only for competition but also for life after their playing days.

With a heart for mentorship and leadership, he created Banner to equip high school athletes with the tools to build character, develop core competencies, and discover their purpose outside of the game. Jay’s mission is to inspire the next generation to live with confidence, integrity, and discipline both on and off the field.
