The youth sports industry is out of control. How will we fix it?
At its core, the Educate to Navigate initiative's goal is to bring life back to youth basketball. We are aiming to promote and improve scholastic basketball and basketball coaches, address the unacceptable current scholastic basketball climate, reaffirm the value of team building, loyalty, and group goals, and re-establish acceptable standards for the youth basketball environment.
We want to help basketball players, their parents, their coaches, and other interested parties navigate the current challenges in youth basketball system. Through education about the landscape of youth basketball and the college recruiting process, we hope to provide folks with the resources to be part of the solution– not the problem. Through our efforts, we hope to elevate the standing of scholastic basketball coaches and reinforce the value of playing scholastic sports.​
