Be a Change Agent
Behind the Whistle LLC is an educational consulting company that provides the tools necessary for developing the whole coach and athlete beyond schematics. We aim to address issues in social justice, mental health and wellness, social work in sports, coaching athletes in Generation Z, positive coaching, culturally relevant coaching, and trauma informed coaching.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Mission of Behind the Whistle is to provide high-quality consulting, coaching, leadership curriculum, and professional development for educators, administrators, teachers, executives, managers, athletes, students, and coaches by creating intentional collisions of diverse solution-minded practitioners across the spectrum of human development for the purpose of building great ancestors. We connect people focused on maximizing greatness in themselves and others while simultaneously reinforcing the village of collective excellence through discourse, development, and action. Let’s build great ancestors together!
Our Team
Behind the Whistle began with a conversation concerning the lack of professional development of coaches beyond sports-specific schematics at all levels of sport. Our conversation quickly turned into the development of an annual symposium composed of professionals of diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and expertise with an interest in holistically developing future leaders through sports and education.
Additionally, our experience as classroom teachers guides our work to deliver intentional programming for young people. We provide educational opportunities, experiences, and social interactions for students early in their lives because we understand the necessity for early exposure.
