ABOUT RIGGS HD
Built from the gap
between athlete and future.
Riggs HD exists so young people can build identity, direction, and opportunity that reach far beyond a final buzzer.
THE EXPERIENCE
Terry “TJ” Riggs knows what it means for basketball to open a door—and what happens when a young person still needs a map after walking through it.
As a scholarship student-athlete, injury and mental-health struggles forced a difficult transition in identity. Education, advising, and trusted relationships became part of the way forward. Riggs HD turns those lessons into practical support for the next generation.
The model is deliberately holistic: use sport to earn trust, help students make informed academic and career decisions, and place caring adults around the moments when direction matters most.
“A player should leave with more than a better game. They should leave with a stronger sense of who they are becoming.”
Values with a job to do.
Accountability
We name the standard, own our choices, and follow through.
Respect
Every young person enters with dignity, voice, and possibility.
Innovation
We meet students where they are and build what the moment requires.
Compassion
Care is not separate from development; it is how trust begins.
Collaboration
Families, educators, coaches, and communities move further together.
