The Mission

More than a day of football.

The I AM GIFTED camp is a chance for young athletes to grow their game, build confidence, and be reminded that every person has a gift worth discovering. Alexander Mattison created the foundation to give back to the young people and families in his community, inspired by the coaches and mentors who poured into him growing up.

High-level instruction sits alongside a message rooted in love, positivity, resilience, and purpose. Campers learn from someone who has competed at the highest level of the game while hearing the deeper idea behind I AM GIFTED.

"Everyone is born with something special. The challenge is to find it, embrace it, and use it to bring light to the world."

"I leaned on coaches, mentors, and people in my community who believed in me. I AM GIFTED is how I pour that back into the next generation."

Through this camp, Mattison wants to make big dreams feel tangible. Campers train with a player who has competed at the highest level of the game, and they leave not only as better football players, but as more confident young people who believe in their own potential.
