Field trips
See it for real.
Once a month, the group visits a real workplace. In the other weeks, youth take a virtual field trip: a short video interview and the same 3 questions.
A credit union or community bank.
A college campus tour, including HBCUs and state schools.
A trade school or an NBA or WNBA team office.
Every trip needs a signed permission slip. Adults supervise every trip. Can't go? Do the virtual version and still earn Points.

Next Play Speed: bounce back fast after mistakes.
School & Career
The week's assignment: resume, budget, career research.
Leadership
Echo the coach, check on your Lab Partner.
Youth score themselves first. Then the coach scores. They talk about the gap. Points are a record of effort, not a grade.
How we measure growth
Real data.
The commitment
Two sides.
Athlete
Bounce back fast. Log honestly. Echo the coach. Own my brand. Plan my path.
Parent or guardian
Support a steady bedtime. Help with food labels. Join the budget homework. Initial the weekly log.
