In case you missed the breakfast in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago, TPI’s own Ron Medved presented the Leadership Innovation Award to Alabama football coach Nick Saban for his team’s incredible championship season this year.  This nine minute clip below shows some of the highlights from the event.

If you are a coach, athletic director, or even an athlete looking for a every ethical edge you can get, maybe you should check out our PX2 program and see if The Pacific Institute can help you and your team to do more of the things you know you are capable of.

Congratulations again coach.  You definitely deserve it.

After a disappointing end to last year’s nearly perfect football campaign, the University of Alabama football team completed their perfect season last night with a win over the University of Texas in the BCS National Championship game.

A lot has been said about the reasons for Alabama’s resurgence to national prominence as a football powerhouse.  Most of these articles and discussions start with head coach Nick Saban, and they should.  His leadership has set the tone for every aspect of the football program.  While having the best college football program in the country is the goal of the University, producing fine, responsible, and productive young men is the ultimate aim of the program.  With each player understanding their responsibilities to the team and taking responsibility for reaching their potential, both the team and the players succeeded.

One of my associates at The Pacific Institute, Angela Nesbitt, is working with the Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City to help with some of their juvenile offenders.  Instead of strict incarceration, they had 24 youth go through the PX2 program and are now tracking the youth with regular follow up.  The hope is that these young people not only turn from a pattern of criminal behavior, but that they become responsible and active members of the community in a positive manner.

Angela’s passion for the program grew to a new level after her daughter went through it in February.  She loved the program for youth aimed at helping them succeed at their goals and dreams, but watching it bring new focus to her daughter was a proud and powerful testimony for her.

The different settings in which PX2 has shown to be an appropriate program is surprising a lot of people.  It’s application reaches beyond the world of sports and leadership training.  If your group of young people would like more information about PX2 and how it can be implemented, please contact me at zparsons@pac-inst.com, or click on the PX2 link in the header of this page.
