SILVER SPRING, MD — The CKA SAVE Project, the nation’s premier partner for holistic student-athlete development, is proud to announce the launch of its Membership & Partnership Guide: "Find the Balance."

This initiative introduces a multi-tiered ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between sports and careers. By offering tailored support for athletes, families, schools, and corporations, CKA SAVE is ensuring that "Finding the Balance" is no longer a solo struggle, but a community-wide standard.

The Three Pillars of the Movement

As student-athletes face unprecedented pressures from NIL, recruitment, and mental health challenges, our 2026 roadmap prioritizes the person behind the jersey through three core pillars:

1. Academic Success: Transforming athletic grit into classroom production.
2. Mental Wellness: Providing the tools to navigate high-pressure environments.
3. Leadership Development: Preparing athletes for the professional world from day one.
