Empowering High School Student-Athletes
Decision-Making Coaching
Based on a proven model for making better decisions.
Have You Seen Your Child Struggle With Any Of These?
These are real challenges that student-athletes face.
Even when they appear happy on the outside, you know there’s an inner struggle that needs attention.
You’re Deeply Concerned.
Your mind fills with worries about their future if these issues remain unaddressed. In conversations with other parents, you realize that this concern is all too common—you’re not alone in your worry. You see so much promise in your teen: their heart, intelligence, and natural abilities. Yet, there's just something stopping them from stepping into their full potential. No matter what you say, you know that the final decision is theirs to make, and that hesitation or inability to truly decide for their self is silently holding them back every day.
You’re Worry Is Valid.
Too many adults continue to carry these burdens because, as teens, they never learned how to make effective choices. Today, you see the ripple effects in broken relationships, chronic stress, and lost opportunities. This is why the struggle doesn’t end with adolescence—it can travel into every part of life if not addressed early.
Please, don’t wait and assume that time will naturally fix these challenges.
NOW is the time to help your teen escape a life of poor choices.
Our Secret To Success
The reason why our system works is because we don’t tell them WHAT to choose—we teach them HOW to Choose.
We empower student-athletes by equipping them with the critical decision-making skills they need for success—both on the field and in life. Our program is built on a proven decision-making process that teaches your athlete how to decide with clarity and confidence.
We’re proud to partner with (DEF) Decision Education Foundation, an organization dedicated to fostering better decision-making skills through research-based curricula and educational resources. Trained by and in collaboration with DEF, we leverage their innovative tools and methods to guide our athletes in mastering:
- Critical Thinking: Analyzing situations from multiple perspectives to make informed choices.
- Self-Awareness: Recognizing personal strengths and areas for growth to improve decision quality.
- Resilience & Adaptability: Learning to pivot and excel under pressure, on the field and off.
DEF is a recognized leader in the field of decision-making instruction, committed to empowering individuals with strategies that lead to smarter, more impactful choices. By integrating their methodologies into our coaching, we ensure that every lesson in our program lays a solid foundation for your athlete’s future success.

Meet Your Coach
I’m Curron aka "Coach C"—an athlete, a coach, and a firm believer in the power of smart decision-making. I grew up playing soccer, roller hockey, football, basketball, and baseball, but my journey wasn’t always smooth. In 7th grade, academic struggles kept me off the field, and I continued to face challenges through junior high. It wasn’t until high school—when I decided to focus solely on basketball—that I began to truly transform my life.
I went from sitting on the bench to playing on a state championship-winning varsity team. Determined to improve both my grades and my performance, I worked hard to become a leader on and off the court. My efforts paid off: I earned features in the sports pages, captained my team, and competed in state championships.
College brought its own set of challenges—from redshirting and partial scholarships to learning the professional work ethic firsthand while training in Detroit with a close friend who was in the NBA. Those experiences taught me the value of consistency, discipline, and, most importantly, making the right choices when it counts.
After facing setbacks, including injuries and tough decisions about my future, I found my calling in sports psychology and coaching. I even started a brand called IDECIDE, and a transformative training with the Decision Education Foundation confirmed my passion for empowering student-athletes. Life then took me on another journey—becoming a father and a business owner—but one thing remained constant: my vision to coach and guide young athletes, just as I wish someone had done for me.
Now, I’m here to help your student-athlete build the mental game and decision-making skills they need for success on the field, in the classroom, and beyond. I’m driven by a God-given purpose to ensure no young athlete feels stuck or unprepared for the big decisions ahead. Together, we’ll unlock the confidence and clarity that pave the way for a brighter future.
