Words from coaches and athletes

Teams leave different.

“Your retreat changed my team in a way I didn’t think we needed. If you were a fly on the wall at a practice two weeks ago and a fly on the wall at a practice today, you wouldn’t believe the difference. Our practices now, everyone is much more intentional and actually plays for the teammates on either side of them.”

“We just finished our team retreat with Athletes in Action. Our facilitators Adam and Naomi were outstanding! They were really able to grasp the concepts that I provided them with and apply that with our team. I think we had some amazing breakthroughs.”

DeWitte Mandley, Wiley College Women’s Head Basketball Coach

“This has afforded us the opportunity for the girls to find our values for themselves. It was an incredible weekend to see them own it, to see them find it and to see them grow not just physically but mentally. They got braver this weekend.”
