“This report makes clear what many of us have long believed: coaches are among the most influential educators in a young person’s life. At a time when student well-being and leadership development are more critical than ever, this research—grounded in data from more than 34,000 student-athletes—shows how coaching shapes resilience, teamwork, academics, and well-being, and offers a roadmap to strengthen the impact of coaches nationwide.”

The problem we solve
Leadership is one of the most powerful drivers of growth—but its impact is often unmeasured and undervalued.
Schools and organizations struggle to answer critical questions:
- Are we truly helping students and athletes improve in life skills like resiliency?
- What impact is our professional development having on student outcomes?
- How do we connect athletics to academic success and student well-being?
Without clear data, leaders are left guessing, resources are misallocated, and the broader value of education and athletics is underestimated.
We deliver measurable insights that connect leadership behaviors directly to academic, athletic, and personal outcomes—giving leaders the clarity to invest wisely, supporting teachers and coaches, and creating environments where students and athletes can thrive.
