Do the Good

Doc Wayne has a specially designed curriculum that was built on the therapeutic model of cognitive behavioral therapy and The Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency Framework. Using teen-friendly slogan-aided language, and a behavioral and skills-development focus, Doc Wayne delivers the curriculum on fields and courts through a trained coaching staff.

The curriculum itself is called do the good or DtG for short.  Doing the Good is about getting to a place on the field and off the field where you feel effective, and you got there without doing any harm to anyone else. In other words, it’s about working hard to find your ‘positive path.’

Our Curriculum

The curriculum approach is distinct in that it is embedded inside the existing practice and game-play league structure. In other words, coaches do not make a distinction between when they are working on the ‘sport skills’ and when they are working on the DtG skills. Coaches use the DtG skills as part of their normal coaching language and are fully aware that each of the eight DtG skills are designed to support a player’s sport skill and life skill development.   

 This approach is less didactic, and instead, is more focused on the physical, social and skill-oriented aspects of team-sports play. 

 The DtG skills are delivered in very short semi-formal sessions called ‘Circle Ups.’  These ‘Circle Ups’ are brief team discussions that coaches lead just as they would at the outset, middle or end of a practice/game. The difference is that coaches are trained and prepared to reinforce certain key DtG skills in these ‘Circle Ups.’  Then, throughout the practice or game, the coaches, and even the players, reinforce the skills in the natural flow of training and play. The curriculum teaches two levels of skills, valuable both on the field and in life. Each Level I skill has a corresponding Level II skill which builds on it.
