InSideOut Training Process

The InSideOut training provides a blueprint for systemic change through the InSideOut System and the InSideOut Philosophy that defines and elevates the purpose, teaches a common language, provides resources and curriculum and employs strategies that hold school communities accountable to developing the human potential of students. This training process includes:

1. Leadership - Statewide leadership gathers for a day-long training to engage in conversation around the purpose of education-based athletics, establish a shared common language, and to define state specific implementation strategies.  Leadership includes NFL community relations executives, representatives from the state high school athletic associations, athletic administrators, school boards, superintendents, and principals associations, departments of education, legislators, and other influential leaders.

2. Implementation - School Implementation Teams come together to learn the InSideOut System—which creates space in the culture for sports to be about the human growth and development of students.  Teams will also engage in the InSideOut Philosophy, which provides specific tools to enable and equip them to take an InSideOut journey that will challenge and inspire them to define and bring to life their transformational purpose.  School Implementation Teams leave with an InSideOut Action Plan to be implemented in their school community.

3. Sustainability - The InSideOut Initiative provides a clear pathway and prepares School Implementation Teams to reclaim the educational purpose of sports.  InSideOut Schools have access to a national network of school communities engaged in InSideOut movement, along with collected best practices, proven strategies, resources, curriculum and ongoing support.

Through a well-defined pathway, supportive leadership and intentional coaching, school communities successfully reclaim the educational purpose of sports.

Kansas Athletics Inc. and the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center (SAPEC) at the University of Kansas have established a comprehensive primary prevention program for student-athletes.  Through collaboration, mutual respect, and a shared goal of gender based violence prevention,  KU has established a truly unique endeavor.  This training program includes multiple annual in-person training requirements for all KU Athletics Inc. staff and coaches on gender based violence recognition and response.  In addition to staff and coaches, it also provides multiple required evidence based in-person prevention trainings for all student-athletes.  Alternative trauma-informed sessions for student-athletes who have been impacted by gender based violence are facilitated by confidential campus partners.  Additional specialized trainings are provided as requested by individual teams.  The partnership between Kansas Athletics Inc. and SAPEC has not only produced significant positive assessment outcomes; but also, a new shared Graduate Assistant who specializes in Prevention Education for Student-Athletes.  The evolving partnership has led to the implementation of a four part seminar for academic credit on gender based violence prevention for student-athletes.  This new seminar will launch in the Fall of 2018 and provides progressive education that grows with the student-athlete each year during their time at the institution.  The seminar will replace foundational team trainings in an effort honor the time constrains that student-athletes face during their academic careers.
