Go A11 IN.
Help save a future.
One emotional moment can change multiple lives forever. We're turning tragedy into a national mission — teaching young people to regulate their emotions, resolve conflict peacefully, and protect the futures they were made for.

"From Friday night lights to eternal light. Your spirit will forever be a Warrior."

An argument can begin in seconds.
An emotional reaction can last a lifetime.
Anger, fear, embarrassment, disrespect, peer pressure, or frustration can cause a young person to make a decision that cannot be taken back. The Austin Metcalf Foundation exists to reach them before that moment.
It's a tribute to Austin.
Why we say A11 IN.
"A11 In" was unveiled as Austin's team's motto after his death. At first it read as a rallying cry for the season ahead — until the meaning behind it was revealed.
Austin and All In
Austin approached life with commitment and purpose — all in, every time.
Leadership
Austin led by example — on the field, in the classroom, and in life.
Loving
Austin cared deeply for everyone he met. He learned people's names, remembered their passions, and made them feel seen.
Intensity
Austin brought passion and determination to football, school, and everything he pursued.
Never Giving Up
Austin's perseverance continues through every young person reached in his name.
Emotional control is strength.
Walking away is not weakness — it's a powerful decision to protect a life and a future. AMF presentations bring this message directly to schools, teams, churches, and community groups nationwide.
