Educational
School can be very difficult for students when they don’t have all of the support they need to be successful. There are so many content areas, and while they may excel in some, they struggle in others. This could lead to low self-esteem coaching. The goal here is to avoid those pitfalls by teaching, motivating, and helping them recognize challenges. With years of experience working with students who have learning differences, Coach Walker can do coaching the way that they learn through academic support and mentorship.

- Time management/prioritizing
- Task initiation
- Understanding grade tracking systems/assignments
- Long term absence recovery
- Long term project assistance
- Understanding academic pathways

The pressure put on themselves, teammates, and coaches can create challenges that carry over into other parts of their lives. There are so many benefits of playing sports that help mold young people and set them up for success in the future. The processes of learning the game, team building activities, understanding your role on a team, and dealing with disappointment can all be supported through this program, along with athletic mindset development programs and one-on-one training for the fundamentals of football, basketball, or baseball.

Mindset
Young people today are struggling with having positive and ambitious mindsets when it comes to approaching life. The normalizing of complacency and expecting things to just happen have overtaken this generation, and the goal here is to shift that mindset through motivation coaching for children, teens and young adults. Each young person will have a personalized goal setting plan that will be worked through and addressed each session. Each mentee will also learn the values of accountability, as well as how to approach adversity by growing. Together, they will learn the benefits of managing their time, prioritizing, and avoiding procrastination through time management skills for young people. Finding personal motivation and direction are also essential elements of their personal growth.

From perspective taking to code-switching to establishing and respecting boundaries, all of these areas are covered in our social skills coaching. Role-playing and working through social scenarios can equip young people with effective ways to communicate and handle themselves when real situations occur. We also provide guest speaker presentations for youth on various social topics.
