Drew Knuppel

Experience that transfers.

Former All-State high school basketball player and DII college basketball player. Drew earned his Sport Management degree and built Sports Mentorship around a simple belief: athletes grow faster when someone who has been there helps them navigate the full path — not just the scoreboard.

How this mentor shows up for athletes.

Drew knows what it feels like to chase the next level — the early mornings, the tough conversations with coaches, the seasons that do not go the way you planned, and the quiet pressure athletes carry when everyone expects more.

As a former All-State high school player and DII college basketball athlete, he lived the grind that most young athletes are still walking into. That experience shaped how he mentors: direct, practical, and focused on what actually helps an athlete move forward.

Today Drew mentors athletes and families through Sports Mentorship with the same standard he brings to everything else — show up prepared, tell the truth, build better habits, and keep the whole person in view. Sport Management training gave him the language of the industry; mentoring gave him the mission.

Athletes leave conversations with Drew clearer on what matters next. Parents leave with a better sense of how to support without taking over. That combination is why families trust him with the moments that matter most.
