The InSideOut System provides a pathway for systemic change—moving educational communities through a four-part process centering on Awareness, Alignment, Action, and Accountability. 

• Awareness – Defines the purpose of education-based athletics
• Alignment – Instills a common language
• Action – Provides education, resources and tools
