"I think it's important that young people don't limit their options athletically too soon. So many kids decide to become a swimmer or a football player or a basketball player give up other sports too quickly. Obviously a good all around conditioning program involving some running, some lifting that type of preparation. And I think going to summer camp, football or basketball whatever you're interested in gives you a little better perspective of what it take to be successful in a given sport. Plus academic excellence because the requirements academically are such that you have to make sure you take care of that first." - Tom Osborne


This philosphy was present on the football field and in the classroom. Dr. Tom Osborne's vision gave us the mentoring program "TeamMates," where a mentor guides a child through school and brings a prospective on life to the student.


TeamMates is a valued program and is always looking for mentors to bring the wisdom and caring of a mentor to students across Nebraska. Join up! Be a TeamMates mentor.
