​Athletic Leadership Institute (ALI) equips student-athletes with the mindset, skills, and real-world experience to lead meaningful change—on campus, in their communities, and across their region. Through a five-phase model, ALI blends leadership training, mental performance, and life-readiness:

​

1. Personal Enhancement 

2. Leadership Discovery 

3. Practical Leadership 

4. College & Career Navigation 

5. Breakthrough Planning 

​

What makes ALI unique is its two-tiered leadership structure:

​

• Local School Leaders launch student-led initiatives that enhance school culture, wellness, and peer engagement.

​​

• Regional Collaboration brings leaders from multiple schools together to co-create broader social impact projects across districts.

​

ALI isn’t just about building leaders—it’s about creating a student-driven movement that strengthens school communities and inspires region-wide change. For school districts, it’s a scalable, research-informed approach to developing confident, community-minded leaders both on and off the field.
