Challenging Athletes' Minds for Personal Success

Simpson's CHAMPS/Life Skills program is designed to help student-athletes develop lifelong skills that they can take into the world once they have graduated, as well as helping them enhance their Simpson Experience in the classroom and on the field. The program is centered around 5 core components; academic success, athletic excellence, personal values, community service and career development.

The CHAMPS/Life Skills Program
