Winning starts long before the whistle blows... it starts with how we lead. "In high school athletic environments, the relationship between a coach and their student-athletes can help build a positive foundation for social-emotional well-being and identity formation" EverRise is proud to announce the release of our latest research paper: "Moving the Needle on Effective Coaching." By surveying student-athletes across the country, we’ve pinpointed exactly how coaching behaviors translate into athlete success. It’s not just about the scoreboard—it’s about the Six Pillars that build a championship culture from the inside out. If you want to check out what the data tells us, read the full paper here ➡️ everrise.ai

Hiring coaches based only on wins misses what actually drives student outcomes. The 2025 The State of Coaching shows six measurable leadership pillars, including Connection and Psychological Safety, strongly correlate with confidence, attendance, and engagement. Stop recruiting based on trophies alone. Ask questions that assess a candidate's commitment to the whole student. If you want to reduce turnover, recruit and develop using data!

Listen in to Part 1 of this series with the @THSCAcoaches Coaches Call Podcast as we unpack data from 34,000+ student-athletes showing that education-based athletics drives higher GPAs, stronger connection, and measurable outcomes worth defending. When budgets tighten and private leagues compete, research protects the role of coaches and athletics as a core part of education. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wha…

Turning the tide on chronic absenteeism takes all of us — educators, families, and communities. When students feel belonging and connection, attendance follows. Explore the EverRise research to see how districts are using student voice data to strengthen engagement and better support every learner ➡️ everrise.ai/research/ #ChronicAbsenteeism #EveryStudentPresent #SchoolEngagement #EverRiseImpact

It’s not just about missed days — when students feel disconnected, attendance drops. But when students feel seen and supported, they stay connected and succeed. #ChronicAbsenteeism #EveryStudentPresent #SchoolEngagement #EverRiseImpact

Chronic absenteeism isn’t an isolated issue — it’s a national challenge. Our students are missing critical instructional time, and research shows it’s impacting learning, connections, and long-term success. Districts using EverRise aren’t just tracking absenteeism—they’re addressing the root causes. The result: ✔ improved attendance ✔ stronger sense of belonging ✔ higher graduation rates ✔ increased post-secondary enrollment #ChronicAbsenteeism #EveryStudentPresent #SchoolEngagement #EverRiseImpact

When asked about the value of the Athletic Period, 81.12% of student-athletes said they’ve used what they learned in athletic period in other areas of their lives, and 89.52% said it’s the best use of their time during the day. At a time when many districts and policymakers were questioning whether to cut the athletic period, this data made the impact clear: it’s not extra time-it’s essential time. These findings helped the @THSCAcoaches bring real student voice into state legislative sessions and superintendent study councils, grounding decisions in evidence, not assumptions. The full report dives deeper into how intentional coaching and structured athletic periods develop skills that last far beyond sport → shorturl.at/Xx7wT

Connection, Safety, Structure, Communication, Challenge, Skill Development. It all matters. The evidence is not just on the field, it’s in everything we do. Educational based athletics matters. @GTEagleFootball @THSCAcoaches @EverRiseData

GISD’s student-athletes were out helping GPD with Blue Santa today. Connection isn’t just coach to player, it’s also player to community. That’s part of the beauty of public education and educational based athletics. Our athletes served over 3000 families in our community today. #Community #Connection @GeorgetownISD @GTEagleFootball @AthleticsGISD @EverRiseData

We’re about 10% into our Winter Assessment Window, and the early data is telling a powerful story. Across the board, we’re seeing growth in every single theme, with Connection showing the greatest growth so far. Early insights like this reinforce what we already know: when connection is prioritized, everything else follows. #EverRise #Connection #CoachingImpact

Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. To the coaches who choose to give their time; time that could be spent elsewhere, energy that could be saved, talent that could be used in a hundred other ways. You show up anyway. You build consistency when it would be easier not to. You bring energy, even when it’s running low. You develop not just better athletes, but better people. Thank you. Your impact lives far beyond the scoreboard—in confidence built, lessons learned, and lives shaped.

Texas coaches are already doing the work. Our latest report shows how to continue to amplify the impact. From structured athletic periods that build life skills, to feedback loops and tech that strengthens connection and psychological safety; this data highlights what’s working and where growth is happening. Texas coaches continue to lead a culture of development, trust, and continuous improvement. 👉 Read the full report: shorturl.at/Xx7wT

Biggest jump in our entire dataset 👇 “My coach takes an interest in my life outside of this sport.” 62% → 67% (Fall ‘24 to Fall ‘25) Connection matters. And athletes are noticing.
