Ummm..what? Why do we embrace failure? JoJo discusses how our camps impacted her as a player and coach by reframing failure as learning.
Beyond sticks was founded by Chrissy in 2011 with the belief that we can teach and play youth sports with character and leadership embedded in all we do.
“My daughter attended all four weeks of camps. She has developed confidence over the weeks and on field skills. She has enjoyed the coaching skills of Coach Derek, Coach Kathy and Coach Shelby. Helen enjoyed being in her group and being stretched to play with High School students for scrimmaging. All in all it has been a great summer of Beyond Sticks coaching - thanks to the team. You guys are awesome!”
