School is Tough
We help kids find the focus, confidence, and the positive energy they need to start every school day off right.

BELIEVE in themselves.
NEVER give up.
Hold themselves to a HIGHER standard.

What is a Tribute?
From sports to history, great leaders provide inspiring and motivating messages.
Rise and Shine tributes feature athletes from KOBE and TOM BRADY to
MILITARY LEADERS & revolutionary figures like MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. & MAYA ANGELOU.
Brandon shares an inspirational story or video and participants journal about what resonates with them.
Brandon then facilitates discussion about how these lessons can apply to their own day-to-day lives.

FAQ
-
Why only 10 minutes a day?
Middle schoolers have busy schedules and start school early. A well-structured 10 minutes is the perfect length to keep their focus, set positive intentions for the day, and learn valuable life skills in bite-size lessons.
-
Does my child need to be an athlete?
No. We do physical exercise on some days, but it is designed for kids of all athletic abilities. We do work with athletes and help them meet their goals on the field, but the same lessons apply in the classroom, on a stage, or in any other life setting.
-
When do the Zoom meetings happen?
Currently, classes are every school day from 7:10 – 7:20 MST. We will add additional time slots based on need and demand. Send us a message if you need a different time to fit your schedule.
-
What age groups is the program designed for??
Currently, the schedule is designed to accommodate middle school schedules. We’ve found this group of kids is most responsive to our messages and most in need of the life lessons we teach. We are open to starting classes for younger and older students. Send us a message.
-
How would this dynamic program help my child?
Starting the day with intention, and on some days physical exercise or breathing, helps kids center themselves and focus. Our goal is to provide an opportunity to physically and mentally prepare for their day as well as learn valuable life lessons that build confidence and resilience.
-
What do kids journal about and what if my child doesn’t like journaling?
We’ve had many kids tell us they don’t like journaling, but are willing to try it in the Rise and Shine setting. Positive peer pressure and encouragement from someone who is not their parent (i.e. Brandon) go a long way. We often focus on gratitude in the journals. We wants kids to understand and appreciate the good things in their lives to develop a positive, healthy attitude. We also use journals as part of our tributes to great leaders. We ask kids to write down what resonates with them and how they can apply lessons to their own lives.
