What is InSideOut?

The InSideOut Initiative (ISOI) is a national movement that empowers and equips school communities to implement purpose-based athletics by connecting student-athletes to transformational coaches in a community of belonging for their social-emotional and character development. Through the evidence-based InSideOut System and InSideOut Philosophy, school communities redefine and reframe the educational value of athletics and activities as a catalyst to develop the human potential of students.

 

Impact

ISOI has developed, evaluated, and implemented its innovative blueprint for systemic change across 14 states, serving school communities to create cultural change in education and interscholastic sports. In 2020, ISOI launched a systems-level longitudinal study to measure the role of interscholastic athletics in the development of the social-emotional and character development of students.
