We understand every coach, team, and program not only have different needs, but also have different time constraints. While our curriculum is intended to be flexible and fully customizable, we have put together some suggestions on the best practices of implementation based on how much time you have per week/day. This can change between on and off seasons, or at different times of the year depending on your program. Always do what works best for you and your athletes!

2Words has made our curriculum viewable to parents of any athlete involved in our program.

We have also provided you with a sample parent letter that you can send out to parents to introduce the program and provide them with the necessary instructions.
Our workbooks consist of 6 pages each week. This includes a cover page with quotes of the week and a weekly content overview. The other 4 pages are the weekly content for: Coaches, Captains, Athletes, and Parents.

2Words is striving to integrate with all of the best platforms available. We believe utilizing Schoology could be a great tool for coaches, schools, and districts. Schoology gives 2Words the ability to set up the course and for you to simply “copy” the course into your account. This will save you hours of your planning and coaching time – instead of downloading and uploading the content yourself to one of the other LMS platforms, we hope you will use these extra hours to continue building relationships with your athletes! This video and article walk you through the steps of setting up an account and creating a course to get the most out of 2Words integration with Schoology.
