Yesterday’s student-athlete leadership event was magical.
Young people learning, growing, & engaging with a group of people fully invested in them. Thank you to the coaches & young people who brought the energy to the room. The power of sport starts with you. #SuperBowlLVIII

The San Antonio Spurs! We've had the opportunity to work with the Spurs through training sessions in San Antonio & have long admired their commitment to building a championship culture. That's the kind of leadership we can always get behind. #GoSpursGo

Our team had the privilege of huddling with executive leaders at @OrlandoCitySC, diving into Emotional Intelligence and how leaders can apply it every day to strengthen their teams, navigate challenges, and lead with both clarity & compassion. Thanks for leaning in with us!

Our Huddle Up team returned to the Forty Acres this summer! UT Austin continues to invest in its student-athletes with ongoing training focused on sexual respect. When we train the muscles for tough conversations, we build leaders ready to step up when it matters most.

Our Huddle Up facilitators recently led training on the power of language and preventing harassment with @GoPSUsports. Creating a culture of respect and dignity starts with education, and we’re honored to be part of that journey.

#ThrowbackThursday to the early 2000s, when our team led 100s of leadership trainings to prevent domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment, and bullying across all branches of the U.S. military—and even the Australian Army.

We're not new to this, we're true to this!

Tonight, Florida will compete for a national title, despite accusations of sexual misconduct against two of their coaches. In observance of #SAAPM, our CEO shares his thoughts on how allegations of sexual assault in sport reflect broader societal issues.

Though praised today, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was widely unpopular by the American public when he was alive. We remember that today as we continue his fight for justice, safety and equity. #MLKDAY
