Our Guiding Principles

Vision: Rise with integrity. Compete with purpose. Inspire young women.
Mission: A career built on discipline, creative expression, and real-world advocacy.

Fueled by the SportFishing Community

Born into the wake of one of the sportfishing's greatest legacies, Lyndsey is walking her own path — one built not on headlines, but on heart. A quiet circle of people gave, hosted, guided, an lifted her... long before the world knew her name. From the decks of the Decisive to courts around the world, this dream is backed by anglers who’ve become family. Guatemalan Billfishing Adventures — the home of her roots — remains a cornerstone of her rise.

Join the Campaign → Adventure with Purpose

The sea shaped her mindset. Every guest aboard Decisive helps write the next chapter of her rise — thank you for being part of the journey.

Now launching the Adventure With Purpose campaign — a unique experience where young guests join her legendary father, Capt. Brad Philipps, on the waters where it all began.

With over 40,000 billfish released, he's created more than a record — he's created a movement. And through Adventure With Purpose, we're extending that legacy to the next generation.

Kids under 16 fish free when part of this campaign. Whether you came to fish, to support, or to believe — thank you for being there at the beginning.

Here is your next adventure or share this journey with someone who needs it.

Disruption Strategy

Convention

Tennis is rankings-driven, quiet, and traditional
Modeling expects polish and separation from sport
Athletes must choose one path

Disruption

Lyndsey owns her multidimensional identity
She blends sport, fashion, and purpose
She doesn’t choose —she integrates

From the court to the wild — she owns her rise.
Athlete. Model. Role Model.
Let the work speak. Let the mindset carry.

Poise. Power. Presence.

The pillars that define her mindset, her training, and her purpose.
