Their Story
In 2013, Greg Ford challenged Kevin Watson, a young aspiring Track and Field coach, former student-athlete and working professional. Greg wanted Kevin to make a difference in the lives of the student-athletes that he trains. He not only called Kevin to help athletes in sport but assist the athletes outside of the sport. After some consideration, Kevin became inspired to support student-athletes in and out of their respective sports. As a result, they created an organization that addressing the needs of student-athletes. These areas are focused on while they are in school in addition to after they finish participating in their respective sports.
Today, Focus Our Future, Inc. exists with programs such as Focus Our Future (r) Program and Future Flyers.
