It is our intention at Yokefellows Athletics to meet the needs of those that come in contact with us, even outside of our main purpose of creating God blessed, positive and lucrative channels in athletics so, youths can become responsible elite athletes.  For years now I've been driven by my "WHY" a statement that goes like this "to be a supportive resource for charities and missions around the world".  During my last trip to Jamaica I had the opportunity to live my "WHY" and it felt awesome!!!
