The Next Level; Raising the Bar for Coaches, Athletes and Parents challenges all athletic participants to strive for more than just sports participation. Athletic competition is about developing the skills necessary to succeed in life. Every one involved in an athletic competition has an opportunity and a responsibility to up their game and make athletic participation positive and successful (beyond the scoreboard). The Next Level is a guide for coaches, players and parents on how to redefine success and take their participation to a higher level. For Coaches The Next Level will fit right in as a supplement to their program. For players it will outline what they need to do to succeed both as an athlete and as a person of integrity. For parents it will define their important role in the healthy development of their children. The Next Level will guide parents down a road to positive sports participation and healthy sports family.
