Same stress.
Different outcomes.

Dr. Steve Brown surveyed 145 student-athletes across 12 independent schools. The athletes who thrived were not the ones facing less racial stress. They were the ones confident they could handle it. Your school can measure that confidence, and build it.

Questions

Can we get a lower price for a smaller school?

The price stays the same. The scope can change: survey one team instead of the full program, or start with the Dashboard License or the Workshop.

Do you take purchase orders?

Yes. Net-30 on purchase orders, and installments on every program.

Is the survey only for Black student-athletes?

The research studied Black male athletes at predominantly White independent schools. The survey and dashboard are used with your full athlete group, and the report shows where any group's square is breaking.
