National Character Leader Testimonials

“Beyond The Scoreboard  reflects what is right and wholesome in sport.  The emphasis on character development, as it relates to athletic participation, cannot be overemphasized.  Personally, I applaud the efforts to encourage student athletes, coaches and parents to be persons of character during athletic participation.  In the culture of athletics, Beyond The Scoreboard is making a difference.”
Sam Riggleman, Head Baseball Coach & Director of Athletics, Spring Arbor University

"Beyond The Scoreboard, as an organization, has looked deeply at the lasting benefit sport provides ~ the strength of character in a person ~ and they have made it a mission to build and honor this part of a young athlete.  I can think of no greater mission an organization can provide to the participants in the sporting community."  
Sheila Taormina

"I have had the opportunity to work with Beyond the Scoreboard for a number of years and they are truly an organization that believes in what is best for the athletes. Their passion and their recognition of the needs of youth, coaches and community has impacted Northern Michigan in such a positive way. Every region needs a Beyond the Scoreboard to help support sports in their community."
Rob Miller, ProActive Coaching

"Beyond the Scoreboard provides a solid foundation and proper perspective that have the potential to change the attitudes and actions of participants, parents, coaches and all others associated with youth and school sports in this generation and the next. I can't think of a community that would not be made better by similar efforts. Your vision, passion and principles will improve local sports programs and the people they touch."
Jack Roberts, Executive Director of the Michigan High School Athletic Association

"At a time when real leadership, honor, integrity, character, and personal accountability appear absent from so much of our daily lives and leading institutions, I can think of no better place to start than with programs like Beyond the Scoreboard.  It should be a national imperative."
General Peter J. Schoomaker, USA (Ret.)
