At YSC, athletes have ownership of their development. Every student-athlete has an extensive Individualized Development Plan (IDP) that the coaching staff helps develop, but most importantly, that the player takes ownership of and refines their plan based on his motivation and goals. Players seek out additional help from the Technical Staff in areas they feel are needed to improve their game, whether that is Sports Psychology, Nutrition, Athletic Development, or any related topic. This type of proactive and self-directed mindset aligns completely with the culture on the academic side at YSC, where self-directed learning is the ultimate goal.
