Reaching the heart of real people in a relevant way
Purpose Over Position has been an influential entity since being established in 2020. Originally, it began as a book that offers insight in becoming mentally and spiritually stronger over life difficult circumstances such as an injury in sports. Vad Lee, the author and founder of Purpose Over Position is an electric athlete who was destined to have an NFL future. However, during his senior year he experienced a season ending injury that ended his college career and infringed on his professional hopes. Since, Vad has been determined to not allow his circumstance to define or limit his desire to press forward in life.
finding purpose in the midst of transition
As a result of not being defined by circumstances, Purpose Over Position has been a lifestyle that has been embraced by thousands of athletes as not just a motto but an impactful way for athletes to overcome from the inside out.
Stories like Vad’s happen every year during competition in sports. To the dedicated athlete, we acknowledge that it is a traumatic event that can likely cause unforeseen roadblocks along the journey. Roadblocks such as identity crisis, wear/tear on your body forever, mental health issues, limited real-world experiences, emotional instability, lack in motivation, and so much more that athletes endure with limited resources.
While the motto is “Next Man Up” after a athlete experience difficulty, we embrace those difficult moments to help improve the well- being of a student-athletes life. POP Non-profit is designed to stand in the gap, to help student-athletes reach their goals and have support along the way.
