Positive Coaching Alliance formed the National Student-Athlete Advisory Board (NSAAB) in 2008 to identify and address key issues facing high school athletes. The board's activities include participation in monthly conference calls and providing input on PCA’s programs and resources like the upcoming Triple-Impact Competitor Online Workshop.
In July the NSAAB came together for the second annual Student-Athlete Leadership Conference at Stanford University. During the conference the student-athletes attended sessions to help them develop as Triple-Impact Competitors; athletes who better themselves, their teammates and the game. Participants also shared best practices on issues pertaining to student-athletes and provided valuable input to PCA.
