A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER
“BMS” stands for Body, Mind and Spirit. We believe that sports participation is a wonderful opportunity to learn grow and become productive citizens… it should be fun and enjoyable too. We strive to ensure that remains the case.
The BMS Project is dedicated to assisting sports advocates to create safe, positive competitive experiences; as well as to promote mental health awareness and contribute to suicide prevention for athletes of all ages and their families by providing information, suggested resources and educational guidance. Paraphrased, I am often quoted as saying, “…the reasons that we shouldn’t be doing this are the same reasons that it must be done; therefore, it shall be done!” – Bob Martin
On June 10, 2024, The BMS Project founder, Bob Martin, was honored and invited to sit in the Buck O’Neil Seat at a KC Royals baseball game. The bestowed honor was reflective of the community involvement of The BMS Project’s many volunteers, community leaders, youth organizations and service providers that have done so much to contribute to athletes’ safety and well-being.
