About Us
What We Do?
The WIM Strong Foundation creates an educational, fitness, health, and nutritional-based environment for students and student-athletes in the Greater Houston area and surrounding communities by providing resources to help them achieve their specific academic and sports goals through empowerment and motivational support. Along with providing resources that many need consistent access to within their economically disadvantaged communities, WIM Strong uses proven approaches and techniques to encourage each student-athletes's ability to produce positive results. In return, each student-athlete can accomplish whatever they put their minds to, change their thoughts, and discover their "I Want It More" mindset.

What is the "I Want It More Mindset"?
A robust power in our minds assists us in developing a sedulous mindset of the ability to work hard, maintain self-discipline, and create an intentional purpose in all we do. This power is discovered by simply having the motive to want something positive or more fantastic for ourselves, which produces passion and dedication to achieve what's focused on. I WANT IT MORE, which is fuel to get things done regardless of any internal or external factors hindering us. I WANT IT MORE is preparation, commitment, and devotion to the mindsets we choose and can construct.
