The framework

The Five Pillars

Every young athlete develops across all five, whether or not a program plans for it. A development culture means each one is taught on purpose, at the right age, by every coach.

Rooted in one idea: develop the whole athlete, not just skills for the season
How to score

Six Lenses for Each Pillar

Every lens uses the same 1 to 5 scale, so a 3 means the same thing to everyone on your staff.
