Grades tell you what a student completed. They don’t always tell you what they can actually do. Nikole Hannah-Jones’ recent essay on her daughter’s education sparked fierce debates about school choice. But as educators and coaches, we need to look deeper. We need to talk about The Resume Gap. Whether it's a student in a major metropolitan public school or an elite three-sport athlete heading to college, paper credentials mean little if a young person hasn't been built with the bridge between achievement and true, demonstrable readiness. No single school address guarantees success. Success is built on intentional Structure, Discipline, and Support. Read my complete breakdown on why this essay matters to every parent, coach, and educator: ckasaveproject.org/blog/why-… #CKASAVEProject #EducationalManagement #StudentSuccess #StudentAthletes #EducationReform #Leadership #ParentingJourney

The rules of college basketball keep changing. The question is: who's preparing the student-athlete for it? New blog: Why the CKA Post Graduate Basketball Academy is needed now more than ever. "One year to prepare. Five years to compete. A lifetime to benefit." ckasaveproject.org/blog/the-…

A transcript tells you what courses a student completed. An athletic résumé tells you what they accomplished in competition. Neither tells you if that student can communicate, lead, manage money, build relationships, or navigate an organization. That distance is what I call the Resume Gap — and closing it is the entire reason the CKA SAVE Project exists. New blog post: "Why I Built CKA: Preparing Students for More Than the Next Level" Link: ckasaveproject.org/blog/why-… #ResumeGap #StudentAthleteDevelopment #100100Standard #SDSFramework

New research from Thomas Guskey via @educationweek confirms it: capping grades doesn't fix grade inflation — it just breeds competition over learning. The real fix? Standards that mean something. That's the whole point of our 100/100 Standard™. Don't settle for an inflated grade. Strive for an authentic education. 🎓 ckasaveproject.org/services @ckasaveproject #ResumeGap

As we kick off the 2026–27 season, the CKA SAVE Project is scaling our Educational Management model to help students and student-athletes succeed in school, career, and life. Through the @OddCoaches Global Access Initiative, we are proud to expand our in-person event coverage with a commitment to our core pillars: Conversation over Confrontation, Credibility over Clicks, Leadership over Noise Additionally, as President-Elect of @TheDrakeGroup , I support our call for Congress to ensure higher education—not an unsustainable commercial sports model—remains at the heart of college sports reform regarding the Protect College Sports Act. For more information about our organizational services, visit us on the web at ckasaveproject.org. Financial aid & scholarship opportunities are available to ensure all student-athletes can access our services. Building better students, developing better athletes, creating better futures. #CKASAVEProject #OddCoachesPodcast #TheDrakeGroup

NCAA college athletics were not meant to be a heavily-subsidized charity for 25-year-old athletes whining to lawyers to fight the rules so they can stay forever and block kids who actually value their free education. ​Like it or not, this is what it’s actually about:
