What is the InSideOut Initiative?
The purpose of the InSideOut Initiative is to transform the current “win-at-all-costs” sports culture where the value is often defined by the scoreboard, into one that defines and promotes sports as a human growth experience.
The InSideOut Initiative provides a blueprint for systemic change. We must become aware of the purpose of sport in our children’s lives, align school communities around this purpose, provide education to school community stakeholders and hold all involved accountable to clearly defined expectations.

What Others Are Saying
“I think it’s a critical program that’s needed to change the culture from ‘win at all costs’ to more of a transformational type of coaching and education-based athletics. We feel like coaches can make a difference. They can stand in the gap, and they’ve got a real opportunity to make a difference. We just need to give them the tools to do it with. We need to start that conversation.”
D.W. Rutledge, Executive Director of the THSCA
