Empowering A Generation; One Educator & One Student At A Time.
The Playbook Program has empowered students to become effective leaders and lifelong learners, equipping them with the necessary skills to thrive. By implementing The Playbook Program, schools across the country have been providing students with a unique opportunity to develop crucial skills such as critical thinking, effective communication, goal setting, and resilience. These skills, coupled with a strong foundation in literacy, enable students to excel academically and prepare them for future challenges. We’re increasing literacy and leadership skills one school and community at a time!
Imagine a School Community Where...
The Playbook Program is an effective educational enrichment program that brings about positive changes in both students and the wider school community! This program not only provides valuable strategies and methodologies to enhance engagement and learning outcomes but also offers motivating support to all members of the school community that truly makes an impact!

NEW BOOK
YOU AIN'T THE BOSS OF ME
It's ya boy ET and man; I am so excited about this book! You Ain't The Boss of Me is a gamechanger for students, teachers, and parents alike! Being misunderstood by others is a terrible thing. Not knowing who you are or what you can do, and not being able to explain why is even worse! You Ain't the Boss of Me is positioned to educate us all on who we are, who our students, children, classmates are and, how we can all succeed once we know how to play to our strengths by identifying and avoiding our weaknesses!
Every kid has the promise of greatness within them — every single one. The key to nurturing that greatness is knowing each child's unique approach to learning. I'll be honest with you. If you coached football and ran the same plays every game, every week, every season, you'd get beat daily. The best coaches learn their squad's strengths then mix and match their plays to bring out the best in their team. Great teachers do the same. By identifying a kid's unique approach to learning, their "superpower," teachers are better able to coach their students to greatness! Unfortunately, most kids don't even know that they have a superpower and, that's where "You Ain't The Boss Of Me" comes in. Every student CAN succeed! They just need the right tools to make that happen. Every child wants to achieve greatness; it's our job to teach them how.
I firmly believe if you don't know you can fly, you'll always think you can't.

After which, they all came away more empowered and dedicated to doing their respective parts in ensuring every student experienced a measure of educational success.
The thought of motivation and education being a natural fit for me was very easy to see as I am a former coach. Therefore, when I discovered Eric Thomas' "When You Want To Succeed As Bad As You Want To Breathe" video in 2010, I knew I had to find some way to introduce it to all of the stakeholders at my school.
I have successfully implemented ETA videos, books, posters, and grind gear at three title one elementary school in Texas over the past six years. Of which, all have each seen a tremendous upward shift in their student's performance. The use of motivational tools provided by Eric Thomas in my estimation has been a major factor in that positive upward trend.
I would highly recommend Eric Thomas to empower every stakeholder that's involved with your school!
If you want the students and teachers at your school to take ownership and achieve more, Dr. Thomas is the man.
