OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower underrepresented minority students in sports medicine and related fields by creating unique pathways to mentorship, education, and professional development. We are committed to breaking down barriers and fostering an inclusive environment where students can thrive. By providing hands-on experiences and access to industry leaders, we aim to inspire and equip the next generation of diverse professionals. Our goal is to cultivate leaders in sports science, injury prevention, rehabilitation, athletic performance, and affiliated disciplines who will drive innovation and make a lasting impact in their communities and the broader sports industry.
OUR VALUES
At the core of The ORTHO Project is an unwavering commitment to community. We believe that sports reflect the best of life, teaching invaluable values like perseverance, teamwork, excellence, and dedication—principles that resonate far beyond the playing field and into everyday life. We recognize the collective effort required for success, not only from athletes but also from the professionals who support them, including coaches, trainers, medical teams, and countless others. Our mission is to guide students on their journey toward becoming future leaders and pillars of their communities, fostering a spirit of collaboration, growth, and shared achievement that leaves a lasting impact.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 2024, The ORTHO Project has its roots in over 25 years of experience from our founder, Dr. Brandon Mines. What began as providing medical support to small high schools in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, grew to supporting collegiate athletes, professional athletes in Atlanta, and even international teams in Spain, Argentina, Uruguay, and the UK.
These experiences revealed a glaring need for greater representation of underrepresented minorities in sports medicine and related fields. The ORTHO Project was created to address this gap by offering students mentorship, resources, and opportunities to excel in areas such as sports law, marketing, media, data analytics, and more.
