Mission Statement

The MSALP is designed to foster an environment that promotes positive development for students' well-being while challenging them to acquire diverse skills, experiences and relationships. The ultimate goal is to develop world-class leaders in academics and life, showing students that they can achieve excellence by learning and opening themselves to a world of leadership.

Program Vision

The program aims to build on students' strengths and recognize their unique contributions to the team. It will provide a "safe zone" where mistakes are encouraged, and no judgment is passed among teammates. The program will address each participant's distinct learning needs, interests and aspirations, considering their cultural background and life aspirations.

Program Implementation

The program incorporates live sessions to complement online material, providing engaging and interactive experiences for the students and helping them develop into world-class leaders on and off the playing field.

Core Values

The program focuses on developing the students' mental, emotional, spiritual and relational selves. It covers topics such as dealing with stress and fear, understanding personal values and becoming a positive societal pillar. The goal is for students to walk away understanding their personal values of morality, integrity, making good choices, maturity, character, perseverance, consistency, setting goals, being resilient, and having passion and grit.

Additional Resources

The program also uses online resources and manuals, which have been developed in-house, providing articles, interviews, team-building activities, leadership tips, and peak performance strategies designed specifically for college and high school captains and coaches.
