Frequently Asked Questions

The Game Plan is built for middle and high school student-athletes, with content and prompts that grow with them as they take on more responsibility for their own schedule, goals, and choices.

Not at all. The Game Plan works for any student involved in sports — from rec league to varsity to travel teams. The Thriving Athlete Framework™ is about building scholar, athlete, and innovator habits, not about skill level.

The Family Huddle is a weekly check-in built into the planner — a simple way for your family or coach to set goals together, agree on rewards, and hold each other accountable. It only takes about an hour a week, and we recommend at least one parent or guardian stay involved.

Each Game Plan includes the Family Huddle System, Monthly/Weekly Scheduling, weekly Hype Reels (training and mindset videos), Dream Lab career worksheets, the Rehab Room, Game Day Eats, and the Sports Diary — all built around 26 weeks of planning.

Both. The Game Plan is a physical planner, but it’s paired with digital content — including weekly Hype Reels (Morning Mindset videos, skills & drills, study habits) and Dream Lab worksheets you access by QR code.

Both were developed with real sports medicine and sports nutrition experts, so the guidance your athlete is following is the same kind of care used at the elite level — not generic advice.

A Triple-Threat Athlete excels as a Scholar, Athlete, and Innovator — not just in their sport, but in the classroom and beyond it. You can nominate your athlete (or a teammate) through the Triple-Threat application on this page.

Erica is a sports mom and the Founder/CEO of Beyond the Ball, Inc., a nonprofit that’s spent years helping young athletes see beyond the game. The Game Plan grew out of that same mission — giving sports families a tool that actually supports the whole athlete, not just their schedule.
