Woodcreek High School Athletics and the InsideOut Initiative

At Woodcreek High School, the commitment to fostering student-athlete well-being extends beyond the field and court through the InsideOut Initiative. This innovative program emphasizes the importance of developing character, resilience, and personal growth alongside athletic skills. By prioritizing mental health, teamwork, and holistic development, Woodcreek’s athletics not only aim for excellence in competition but also nurture well-rounded individuals. The InsideOut Initiative empowers athletes to thrive both in sports and in life, creating a supportive community that champions personal and collective success.

History of InsideOut

In 2015, Joe Ehrmann and Jody Redman, with a grant from the NFL Foundation, implemented a statewide pilot program in partnership with high school athletic associations, educational leadership associations and the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. Since that time, the InSideOut Initiative has partnered with 20 NFL teams in 17 states. With the support of the NFL Foundation the InSideOut Initiative is creating a national movement to transform interscholastic athletics.

The InSideOut Initiative has been evaluated since its inception by the University of North Carolina Greensboro’s Institute to Promote Athlete Health and Wellness.
