We Are 5A!

Building 21st Century Student Leaders

Leadership development is at the heart of our approach. Our goal is to nurture leaders who will not only excel in sport but also contribute positively to society. We are committed to cultivating the next generation of leaders by focusing on:

​

• Leadership Skills for Student-Athletes: We provide targeted training and experiences designed to build confidence, enhance strategic thinking, and foster ethical decision-making. Our programs equip student-athletes with the skills needed to lead both on and off the field.

​

• Coach Development: We empower coaches with the tools and resources necessary to mentor and guide young leaders. By supporting coaches in their role, we ensure they can inspire and develop athletes who will, in turn, inspire their peers and communities.

​​​​

• Educational Partnerships: We facilitate University Fellowships where college students collaborate with athletic departments, teachers, and stakeholders to advance research, build capacity, and develop systems that support student-athletes' academic, social, and emotional growth.
