BUILD6 — Build What's Next™

ATHLETES + TEAMS / PROFESSIONALS

CARE FOR THE ATHLETE. BUILD WHAT’S NEXT.

From athletic trainers and physical therapists to coaches, performance teams and athletic directors, BUILD6™ develops communication, leadership, trust, collaboration and career readiness across the athletics ecosystem.

ONE BUILD6™ FOUNDATION. AN ATHLETICS APPLICATION.

Human skills for moments that matter.

Injury, recovery, competition and the transition beyond sport ask a lot of athletes and their support teams. This application of the six BUILD6™ stages gives professionals room to rehearse conversations and decisions before those moments arrive.

Facilitated scenarios, role-play, team decisions and reflection help professionals connect what they know with how they show up for athletes.
