Clint Rutledge

The Coaching at its Core online video series is designed to be a resource for School Districts to educate their coaches on issues such as mental health, social media, and other social challenges.

Coach. Could there be a more influential title? Last year in America, over 45 million kids competed in a sport of some kind. Every one of them had a coach. It has been said that a Coach will impact more people in a year than most people will in an entire lifetime. 

Kids. Could there be a more challenging time to carry that title? Kids today face all kinds of challenges:

Pressures From Parents and Peers
Teen Suicides
Social Media
Dating Violence
Fatherless Homes
Broken Families
The List seems to go on and on.

If kids aren't fortunate enough to get guidance and direction at home, where do they go? Who will stand in the gap for them and show them what it means to lead, to be responsible, to be a part of a team, to commit to something bigger than yourself? For many kids, that direction comes from their coach. The Coaching at its Core Online video series follows the journey of Clint Rutledge as he sets out to learn more about the challenges kids are facing today and how coaches can use their unique platform to be a part of the solution.

The series is comprised of 8 Sessions and has a workbook that accompanies it.  The 8 Sessions include:
