Background

Will Mueller is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Peru State College, with a Bachelor's in Business Administration (focusing on Management and Leadership) and a Master's in Organizational Management. While in college, Will served as football team captain, was a CSC Academic All-American nominee, and was a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy. From a young age, Will was passionate about sports, playing both football and baseball in high school, which earned him college interest in both sports.

After high school, Will accepted a football scholarship to play quarterback. Despite his talent, he struggled to find the right guidance to reach his full potential. After several seasons of frustration, Will connected with the right mentors, specifically Drew Burnham, who supported him through college and into his professional football career overseas. Under this mentorship, Will became a top 3 QB in total touchdowns in Switzerland (2024), set a single-game passing touchdown record (7), and achieved over 3,000 total yards, 33 touchdowns, and a 60% completion rate with only 11 interceptions since late 2022.

This experience sparked the question: Why shouldn't every athlete have access to this kind of transformative mentorship? Igniting a passion, Will founded Athlete Experience, a platform designed to connect youth to high school athletes with the kind of faith-based athletic mentorship that can unlock their potential and change their lives. His mission is to help athletes succeed by providing the support and guidance they need, while also using the platform to inspire and share the gospel.
