MEET OUR FOUNDER KIP
Built by a Coach Who Wanted to Develop More Than Athletes.
A NCAA DIII men's basketball coach for 14 years (22 overall in the profession) Kip Ioane launched the original "character development" work a decade ago. Now, he has compiled his proven curriculum and team interaction calendars into the #TeamsOfMen system we want to share with you.
He’s done the heavy lifting over 10 years of execution so you can feel at ease and confident starting today!
