Why Do So Many Kids HATE School?
A Paradigm Shift Is Necessary In Education. And Now, A Colledge
Football Coach Offers Such Reform.
As coaches, we have opportunities that teachers do not. Coaching is
a performance based working relationship that relies on the mastery
of fundamentals and technique to create a competitive advantage.
Coaches are held accountable for an athlete's performance on and
off the field. This leads us very quickly to a fork in the road. We
can bend the rules academically, and manipulate the system so that
they can get through and stay eligible, or we can invest deeply in
them and help them technically and fundamentally so that they can
become legitimate, independent performers in all areas of life.
I see myself at the center of the paradigm shift, which is based on
skills and ideas, not subjects and orders. Study hall, medication,
tutoring and other conventional forms of intervention aren't what
we need. They aren't the long-term solution. We need sustained
performance based change that is built on fundamentals and
technique. If we are going to effect permanent, long-lasting,
fundamental change, the paradigm shift has to begin somewhere other
than in the schools. Therefore, parents and educators must pursue
such change individually through a program like Academic Gameplan.
Academic Gameplan is a coaching based program that teaches the
rules, fundamentals and techniques to the game of school. The life
skills we teach are SOLID, SIMPLE, and REPEATABLE. AGP is the ROCK
upon which students are building lifelong success
