EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Josiah Cruz, Athletic Director at Classical Academy High School, challenges the common belief that "athletics doesn't develop character; it only reveals it." He argues that athletics is a powerful tool for teaching young people how to persevere, practice, push beyond their limits, and put others first. Through the long conditioning process, athletics offers students the chance to define their purpose and grow their character. Cruz emphasizes the importance of the four D's, Discipline, Dedication, Determination, and Desire, and highlights relationship-centered coaching that is supportive, encouraging, and focused on success both on and off the field.
