As the 2016 N4A Conference in Dallas comes to a successful end, we would like to share some highlights from Game Plan’s trip.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Vin McCaffrey, CEO/Founder of Game Plan, spoke Friday afternoon about the stages of student-athlete development. He outlined the state of the industry, the student-athlete’s journey, the benefits of unifying student-athlete stakeholders and tactics and resources for doing this. A main takeaway was if you want to create a plan for success in your student-athlete development initiatives, walk through a series of key questions to ensure a more comprehensive approach.
