Offering Students in the city of detroit A cost-free, Purpose-driven Development program
Finish the Race (FTR) comes from 2 Timothy 4:7 — “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” It’s a mindset that calls us to give our best in everything we do — on the field, in the classroom, and in life. We don’t measure success by talent alone, but by discipline and commitment to see things through. At FTR, we develop athletes who pursue excellence, build strong character, and refuse to leave their potential unfinished.

What We Do
Finish the Race serves students in Detroit through an after-school student development program that focuses on building up the whole person. Through our training program, tutoring and academic assistance, leadership building, and college preparation, we aim to develop student athletes live a healthy lifestyle, achieve success on and off the field, and become leaders in their communities.
High Level Training
Students receive training from experienced certified trainers and coaches. The program includes strength and speed training as well as sport-based development. We emphasizes fundamentals, proper movement, and accountability, helping athletes learn how to train with purpose and carry those habits into competition, school, and daily life.
Character & Leadership Building
Students participate in character and leadership meetings that focus on building traits that make them successful on and off the field. Coaches, mentors, and leaders in the community work with our students to develop them as leaders and help them find their purpose.
Academic Enrichment
Students are given dedicated time and support to focus on schoolwork in a structured setting. They receive help from teachers and tutors to work on assignments, test preparation, and staying on top of classes.
College Readiness
The program helps students prepare for college by walking them through the process step by step. Students receive guidance on college options, applications, and communication with coaches and admissions offices, and they are taken on college visit trips so they can see campuses firsthand and better understand what comes after high school.
