What's next for Brandon Culpepper and PeppNation

Hello everyone and thanks for visiting my blog.  I haven't logged on since I moved back from NYC and lots has changed in my life since then.  I've recently returned full time to my home town, Milwaukee WI; in an effort to support my family, loved ones and this community.  PeppNation is larger then ever and PeppNation Sports Leadership Camps has made a difference in the lives of more then 1200 student athletes nationally in less then 2 full years of existence.

Yes I've been promoting the brand and vision of PeppNation since January 1st 2010, but the impact that we've made over the past two years has turned many heads and changed many lives.  I'm thankful to all our supports nationally and all of you for believing in my dream which in return help me to have the access to support others.  

Currently we've helped 18 student athletes get into college and they've signed for nearly a million dollars worth of scholarships.  We've done so by teaching student athletes how to market themselves to obtain scholarships.  Leveraging there talents to offset the rising cost of higher education.  

Is this difficult? 

I wouldn't say so, however there courage, faith and a burning desire to succeed are required to make your dreams become reality.

In order to find a college athletic scholarship you need to be willing to actively promote yourself to college coaches and engage with them throughout the college recruiting process.  Make it known that you exist, because college coaches can't find everyone and you just might be what he or she is looking for.

PeppNation Sports Leadership Camp is on it's 3 year of programing and going strong.  We started in Atlanta GA at the Martin Luther King Recreation Center with about 25 kids under 13.  Today we have youth in NYC with our Partners Play Rugby USA and Milwaukee WI partnering with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee, MPS and Milwaukee Park and Recreation.  Over 1200 youth served and many more to come.  

College is promoted daily in our camps and we introduce non-traditional sports like Flag Rugby, Lacrosse and Cricket to name a few.  Camps are co-ed and a fun and safe environment for all participants.  

Our Mission:

To provide the highest quality mentoring environment for youth with the goal of creating well-rounded citizens who increase their athletic level while promoting continuing education.

I'll be blogging a lot more now that I've returned home.   I think this is a great way to inform networks from around the world what we're working on and how the world can join our efforts.  Culpepper's dreams and goals are now reality, because the dreams and goal of others are also accomplished.  

At the end of the day, if we can create and promote healthy lifestyles and positive citizens for today and tomorrow, then we can honestly change the world and how it is viewed by others; one child at a time.
