Our Flagship Program

Rise & Shine

Developing an Army of D1 Capable Leaders

Our Program

  • Rise & Shine Program:
    • Description: Every day before school or before bed, your young athlete will spend 10 minutes focusing on developing leadership traits and qualities. This consistent practice ensures they are ready to lead a Division 1 program\
    • Curriculum Overview: A 2-year curriculum built on our 3 foundational pillars: Belief, Love, and Resiliency. Each pillar yields principles that we cover and focus on weekly. These principles include:
      • Focus
      • Discipline
      • Confidence
      • Goal Setting/Orientation/Achievement
      • Gratitude
      • Handling Failures & Successes
      • Pressure Management

      Each principle allows for a tenet of sports psychology to be taught, such as Positive Self-Talk, Visualization, Self-Efficacy, and Emotional Regulation. We incorporate the teachings of those who have set the standard and shown the way, including legends like Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady, Mia Hamm, Nick Saban, and Novak Djokovic

    • Benefits: Athletes receive a comprehensive master’s course in leadership development. By focusing on daily discipline and immersing them in a culture of like-minded athletes, they develop into dynamic leaders both on and off the field.
  • Graduate Assistant Program: From Student to Coach
    • Details: Upon graduation from our 2-year program, athletes ready to further develop their skills can apply to become a Graduate Assistant. Just like in college, a Graduate Assistant is a coach in training. They learn side-by-side with ClubD1 coaches, developing lesson plans, providing motivational classes, and preparing to be a coach..
    • Testimonials: Including a testimonial from Tanner, our first GA, to highlight the real-life impact and success of the program

ClubD1 Coaches:
