Student Athlete Career Exploration

Empowering student-athletes beyond the game.

SACE 360 develops the whole student-athlete before sport becomes their only imagined future.

THE SACE 360° FRAMEWORK

Three parts. One whole athlete.

A student-athlete is more than a jersey number. SACE 360° develops the full person — so when the season changes, the identity holds.

Academics

The mind stays in the game. Study habits, GPA confidence, and a real plan for the classroom — the foundation every college and career asks for first.

Athletics

The sport stays what it should be — a place to compete, grow, and lead. Performance gets stronger when it no longer carries the whole identity.

Avocation

A direction that outlasts the jersey. Career exploration, discovered strengths, and a future the athlete can name before graduation day.

Built on doctoral research. Delivered in schools, programs, and communities. Measured in verified student progress.

ONE CONNECTED EXPERIENCE

Built for growth today—and direction beyond the game.

Three student-facing experiences work together to strengthen identity, reflection, and future planning.

01

Microlearning

Focused learning experiences help student-athletes build self-awareness, leadership, and practical habits one step at a time.

02

Daily Drive

A daily reflection and private journal create space to think, write, and connect today’s choices to long-term growth.

03

Career Discovery Lab

Guided exploration turns interests and strengths into realistic career matches, education pathways, and a living portfolio.

THE RESEARCH FOUNDATION

More than motivation. A framework built around identity.

SACE 360 is grounded in doctoral research examining athletic and academic identity among high-achieving adolescent African American male student-athletes—and designed to help every student-athlete imagine a future that extends beyond sport.
