Society believes that sports and athletics can provide our youth with experiences to foster the growth of character, ethics and leadership skills. It is commonly thought that crossing the finish line, sliding into home plate scoring a goal or making a touchdown can equate to strengthening a student-athlete's moral fiber.

However, a young person's maturity and development through sports can only occur when the adults around them are deliberate and committed teaching and coaching character values on the field, in the classroom and in the community.

We are committed to providing meaningful programming and resources to coaches, athletes, parents and decision makers that will help change the current "win-at-all-costs" sports mentality that pervades our culture

A student's emotional and mental well-being is just as important as his or her physical health. Character is a learned behavior and if we can teach positive decision-making and prepare students for the many life lessons they will face both in and out of school, we know we can make a difference.

By strengthening the dialog and recognizing the great work being done to transform athletics into a tool for healthy human growth, we can provide students – both boys and girls – with an experience that truly offers character development.
