Vets and Players - MVP

Vets and Players MVP empowers military, veterans, and professional athletes to thrive when the uniform comes off through fitness, health, and wellness programs. From the battlefield to the playing field, our veterans and athletes exemplify strength, excellence, and dedication. However, many find it difficult to redirect these qualities into a new mission that provides meaning and purpose—to lead themselves, support their families, and strengthen their communities. MVP was founded to address this challenge, ensuring that our nation’s warriors can continue to thrive and make a lasting impact off the field as they did on it.
