Summer Update 2024

It’s hard to believe the Summer of ’24 is almost over. That means TJC Season IV is right around the corner. The full calendar of events has now been posted online.

3D Sports Leadership Training For Area Coaches and Athletes

Starting this Fall, we are thrilled to announce that our “ALL IN on the 3D Journey” series will also be available to area coaches and athletes once per month. The sports version of “ALL IN on the 3D Journey” is being designed for coaches at all levels and athlete leaders from middle school and up. Click here for the full calendar of events.

We would also appreciate your help in spreading the word to coaches and athletes throughout the entire northwest Missouri region, as all are invited.

If you’re not signed up for TJC Season IV, secure your spot today!

In previous seasons, our breakfast series has welcomed anyone who was willing to RSVP and show up. However, for Season IV, we are introducing a new format that focuses on team participation. While the series remains open to all, attendance will now require being part of a team. Click here to secure your spot.

How It Will Work:

  • Team Captains and Recruitment: We are currently recruiting “Team Captains” who will be responsible for forming teams of up to 8 members, including themselves. Each team will have its own table at our nine gatherings throughout the season. This structure encourages camaraderie and collaborative learning.
  • Pre-Work Videos: To prepare for our in-person gatherings, each participant will be asked to watch a few short videos online each month. These videos, totaling about 30 minutes, will introduce the topics our speakers will cover and set the stage for transformative conversations at your tables.

Options to Secure Your Spot:

To guarantee your participation in next year’s series, you have two options:

Become a Team Captain: If you are passionate about forming and leading a team, consider stepping up as a Team Captain. This role involves recruiting team members and coordinating with them throughout the season. Click here for more details.

Join an Existing Team: If you prefer to join as a participant, sign up here, and we will connect you with a Team Captain who has available spots on their team.

We look forward to embarking on this journey with you and making TJC Season IV our best series yet. For further details and to secure your spot, please click here.

A Note for Season IV Team Captains

We recently held a couple of informational meetings for our Team Captains. The purpose was to review the plan for Season IV, answer any questions and point people to resources that will help them successfully recruit teams. Click here for a video recording of the content that was covered.

“A Dream for Athletics” Moves Forward

On November 3rd, 2023, St. Joseph sport leaders shared A Dream for Athletics, envisioning a united community that leverages the power of sport to help our youth thrive both now and into adulthood.

Check out the rewind video of A Dream for Athletics in the video above.

To move this vision forward, we hosted a “St. Joseph Sports Stakeholders” meeting for people to learn more and see how to get involved. For those who couldn’t attend, here’s a brief recap:

  1. Attendance: We were pleased to have around 35 sports stakeholders from about 20 sport organizations join us last night.
  2. A Dream for Athletics: Community members shared an abbreviated version of the “A Dream for Athletics” presentation from last year’s TJC community breakfast. You can view (video) or listen (podcast) to the full presentation from the breakfast here to see what you may have missed or to get more details: A Dream for Athletics.
