The WES Act (Winning Every Second):  A proposed youth sports safety law that mandates emergency action plans, AED access, and certified safety training for all school athletic programs. Named in honor of Wesley Leo Schmeling, a young athlete whose life was forever changed by a preventable sports injury, the act aims to protect student-athletes through clear protocols, equipment access, and accountability. It empowers moms, coaches, and communities to demand safer sports environments—because every second counts.

Making a Difference
One Player at a Time

The WES Act was born from heartbreak—but it’s driven by hope. Named in honor of Wesley Leo Schmeling, a beloved son whose life was forever changed by a sports injury, this legislation stands for every athlete impacted by preventable harm in school sports.

Wesley was the angel God used to awaken a mission. His story lit the path—but the movement is about more than one child. It’s about the thousands of families who’ve felt the ripple effect of injury, and the communities that rally behind them.

FUTUREMVP is leading the charge to make school sports safer—through advocacy, education, and action. From moms to legislators, coaches to school leaders, we’re building a united front to protect our kids.

Because when one child is hurt, it doesn’t just break a family—it shakes a community.

Support the WES Act. Support the mission. Support the legacy. Donate today to help us protect our FUTUREMVPs.
