This is cool. Being a former athlete, I can relate to everything in the curriculum. Resiliency has been a big theme for us - it's not just the kids' problems right now, it's the adults too!

Sr. Program Director

My kids really enjoyed the 4th and 5th grade modules and would like to see and do more. I am looking forward to sharing more modules!
