Who We Are
A daughter and her father started The Huddle in Louisville because they kept meeting the same young athlete: celebrated for what they could do, never asked who they were. Kennadee Pringle built it; her father Kevin helped bring it to life. Today it is a Christ-centered home for youth and athlete development, where worth is named first and talent is coached second — because many people spend years developing their talent and never discover their identity.
Our story
The Huddle was founded by Kennadee Pringle — a mother, mentor, coach and former collegiate athlete — who is the heart and visionary behind the organization. She had lived the athlete’s calendar herself, and she knew how easily a young person can be celebrated for their performance and never asked who they actually are.
Her father, Kevin Pringle — a former college football player with deep roots in pastoral ministry — helped bring that vision to life alongside her. What began in Louisville is now a family-founded, Christ-centered movement serving athletes and families in Louisville, KY and Houston, TX.

Our vision
“To build a nationwide ecosystem where every athlete, parent, coach, and leader has access to mentorship, resources, community, and support rooted in God, Identity, and Purpose.”
Our mission
We help every youth identify their worth, discover who God created them to be, and walk boldly in their purpose. Our identity determines our worth — not our stat line, not our film, and not our worst moments.
Every life has meaning. Everyone’s story is important. That is the sentence we want an athlete to be able to say about themselves before they leave a Huddle room.
How we work
Our curriculum is built on four timeless questions — Origin, Meaning, Morality and Destiny. We walk young people through them honestly, in a room where they are known by name.
Where did I come from? We start here, because a young person cannot know their worth until they know they were made on purpose.
Why am I here? Talent answers what you can do. Meaning answers why it matters when the scoreboard is off.
How should I live? Character is trained the same way speed is — deliberately, with people who hold you to it.
Where am I going? A young person who can picture a life past the final season starts making different decisions in this one.
We do not run a single event and leave. Athletes, parents, coaches and leaders are developed together — small groups, mentorship, training, camps, seminars and partnerships that reinforce one another season after season.

What makes The Huddle different
The Huddle Playbook and The Purpose Playbook are written material our mentors actually teach — seven equipping areas and a session sequence on Dreams & Vision, Identity, Heartbreak & Pain, and Purpose. Parents and donors can read exactly what a young person will be walked through.
Spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and professional growth are treated as one project. That is why financial literacy education and mental health and wellness connections sit beside speed and agility work.
A daughter and her father built this together, and that family posture is still how we treat the athletes and parents who walk in.
Athletes, parents, coaches and leaders are developed in the same movement, so what a young person hears in a Huddle Group is reinforced at home, at practice and at church.
