SUPPORTING & PARTNERING WITH Santa Clara STUDENT-ATHLETES
Santa Clara Jesuit tradition is about educating the whole person-mind, body, and soul-and preparing student-athletes to create a more just, humane, and sustainable world. Santa Clara student-athletes are learning critical life lessons and values, including sportsmanship, discipline, teamwork, overcoming adversity, preparation, trust in others, and selflessness, to name just a few. Competing for Santa Clara will nourish their character and build their confidence, as they learn to maximize their potential. The Mission NIL was formed to help empower those student-athletes to maximize all the endeavors they undertake while in Santa Clara, both on-and-off the field. The alumni and fans that support Santa Clara student-athletes believe that each is destined to do amazing things and are committed to working tirelessly to ensure that every current and future Bronco has the opportunity to leverage the power of their name, image and likeness to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
