Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire youth to live healthy lifestyles and become mentally and physically fit, develop interpersonal skills, and self actualize through basketball coaching and individualized mentorship
We act on such goals through the two primary outlets below:
1. By providing university students as coaches for youth in organized sports leagues and Coach2Inspire programs.
2. By establishing partnerships and connections between university groups/resources and community members.
Our Impact
1. Coach2Inspire provided 30 coaches that coached 13 teams for the 2019-2020 Durham Parks and Rec Winter Basketball League. This constituted over half of the entire league, the equivalent of over 150 kids.
2. During the national quarantine Coach2Inspire produced a series of at-home workout videos with athletes from Duke University including both the Mens and Womens Basketball Teams.
3. Coach2Inspire is designing and hosting a fully socially distanced basketball academy in partnership with Durham Parks and Rec in place of the 2020-2021 Winter Basketball League for 64 kids in the Durham Area.

Why Coach2Inspire?
Our work fills a void that is seen in sports education throughout the nation:
We provide coaches that children can actually relate to.
Our coaches are active college students of all races and genders in their late teens and early twenties. This is the demographic that youth most want to emulate and consequently are the best at truly connecting with and inspiring youth.
We coach the person and the player.
We take a holistic approach to coaching to ensure that youth not only realize the mental and physical benefits of playing sports, but that they also grow as people and pioneers of the coming generations.
Our coaches are rigorously trained and extremely well-equipped.
All of our coaches go through a rigorous coaching training program designed by the leaders of Coach2Inspire. This training consists of pre-season coaching seminars,weekly in-season coach development sessions, and end-of season reflections.
We connect communities.
We have created partnerships with groups at both Duke University and in the Durham community to bring some of the best resources at Duke to Durham. To name a few, we have connected Division 1 Athletics teams at Duke such as the Men’s Soccer Team with DPR to run free clinics for children in Durham. We have also provided coaches/trainers for BullCityFit, an organization that focuses on treatment for clinically obese children in Durham.

Self-actualization
Self-Actualization refers to the holistic development of each individual. While we strive to improve skill in the game of basketball, fundamentally, it is our utmost priority that we maximize the potential of each and every child we interact with. In practice, this means stressing perseverance, celebrating individual differences, and pushing children beyond their comfort zones to promote holistic development.
