“I support Banner Player Development because kids today need something to help teach them where to get and place their value. It’s easy to view your identity in athletics. We want to teach young people that you are valuable regardless of what you do in life. The Banner Player Development Course helps facilitate these difficult conversations by providing a curriculum that is impactful and easy to follow.”

- Coach Jason Tone, Head Football Coach at TL Hanna High School (Anderson, SC)

Player Development used to be just for college athletes

Big-time SEC, ACC, and Big 10 athletic departments and their sports teams are equipped with multiple full-time staff members and superb programming to help their college athletes excel in their sport and beyond.

I am someone who has benefited from this expertise in my time playing football at The University of South Carolina. These skills that I have learned have changed my life and launched me into life after sport with confidence and hope!

After graduation I started to think about how those same lessons that I learned are needed for not only college athletes but also for high-performing high school athletes who are managing similar stresses and challenges.

Banner Player Development is the combination of my 6 years of experience playing and coaching in the student-athlete development space at the highest level of college athletics + insights and coaching from other athletic & player development experts who have 20+ years of experience. With my experience and these industry experts, we have come together to help high school athletes thrive beyond sports.
