The Chosen Ones

The Chosen Ones (TCO) — Grand Rapids, MI

The Chosen Ones is a Grand Rapids-based nonprofit dedicated to walking alongside student-athletes as they navigate identity, mental health, and life beyond sports. TCO creates programs, events, and mentorship experiences that build resilience, character, and a deep understanding of self-worth rooted in Christ.

Their mission is clear: help young athletes develop a growth mindset and build resilience to form a healthy identity. Through both on-court connection and off-court conversation, The Chosen Ones meets athletes in the pressure points of their journey — reminding them that they are more than stats, scholarships, or scores.

Core Values (B.A.A.G):

• Balance – We work hard, rest hard, and have fun.
• Accountability – We have each other’s back with words & actions.
• Alliance – We're not just a team on the field or court.
• Grit – We always play through the hard.

Programs That Make an Impact:

• Brotherhood in Motion – A Tuesday night open gym and spiritual mentoring experience for high school boys.
• Beyond the Game – A community event centered on mental health in sports, designed for coaches, parents, athletes, and ADs.
• Game Changers Needed – A bold campaign to raise funds and support the emotional, spiritual, and physical needs of the next generation of athletes.
