Today's Play: Steve Brown returns to share how he’s now giving back through the Steve Brown Academy and his Complete Your Square approach to student-athlete development. Steve opens up about the emotional toll of transitioning out of sport, the importance of identity beyond athletics, and the power of therapy, mentorship, and purpose. He also offers wise advice for parents: know your role, assume positive intent, and give hard moments time to breathe before reacting. 

Today's Coach: Olympian Steve Brown is the founder of the Steve Brown Academy and creator of the Complete Your Square curriculum, designed to support student-athletes in athletics, academics, character, and service. He competed in the 2000 Olympic Games for Trinidad & Tobago after a standout multi-sport career at Wake Forest. With degrees from Wake, Duke, and UPenn, Steve brings over 15 years of experience in independent school admissions and leadership development.
