Circle of Virtue
Know: The program begins by using SportsLeader resources to educate the coach on authentic masculinity and virtue. The coach then periodically gives short talks to his team on these same topics.
Value: The athletes come to value the SportsLeader program through the personal example of the coach, man-to-man mentoring sessions and the sense of team that is created over the course of the sports season. The individual and team successes that take place throughout the season positively reinforce the value of the SportsLeader message.
Live: The man-to-man mentoring sessions result in athletes making concrete virtue resolutions to live on the field, at school, and at home.
Transmit: As the athletes fulfill their virtue resolutions, those virtues develop into habits and they become living examples to their peers. The athletes develop the strength of will to do the right thing no matter what the circumstance and become leaders in every area of their life.
