The Units Behind the Champion Mindset

A Slice of the Experience

When you unlock the Champion Mindset Curriculum, you provide a new and engaging world for your students and teachers. Watch Olympian and Athlete Mentor Sakura Kokumai talk to her mentees about Goal Setting, and her strategy for making setting goals for the Olympics less daunting and actionable.

Change School Culture

The program continues to create powerful conversations around character, leadership, perseverance, and emotional growth in ways students truly connect with. One of the most valuable parts of the experience has been watching students apply these lessons beyond the classroom and seeing relationships strengthen throughout the year. I am very grateful for the continued support, resources, and encouragement the Classroom Champions team provides.
