Ideas worth spreading

Radical Social Justice Education Through High Fives

Athletics is the perfect place to practice radical social justice education. It is critical coaches, staff members, and administrators learn to work with student-athletes on uncomfortable topics such as identity and understanding their biases. The student-athlete setting is consistently a diverse environment, and addressing inclusion is necessary to improve the student-athlete experience and their well-being.
