Which teenagers can Play Huge Coaching really help?
- You’re bored. Being in school is insulting. It feels completely useless and a waste of your time.
- You don’t like the superficial values of our culture and want to know more about native cultures, mythology, tribal values, and how to really care.
- There is a ton of stress, pressure, and misery in your world. You want it to stop, because you realize that it’s not getting you where you really want to go. You want to be a happy and healthy person, not a grade machine (or the person who uses someone else's Adderall to help them achieve or has 5 tutors to make sure you get your stuff done)
- No one understands you. You feel lonely. You’re mad but don’t have anyone to talk to about any of this.
- There are times when you feel you are screwed up, but deep down you know that the problem isn’t you.
- You want to make a difference and do something that matters, something real, but you can’t figure out how to do it (even if you were allowed to try).
- You care deeply about people, the environment, and doing the right thing, but it’s pretty lonely and you feel weird for caring as much as you do.
- School doesn’t work for you. You hate it. You’re bad at it. And it doesn’t interest you.

But, will it work for you?
It will if you care about some of this stuff:
Making a difference. You want to find a way to contribute that feeds your heart and has a positive impact.
Real Life. You are ready for the real world, not the classroom. You are ready to explore, experience, and figure out the world.
Being awesome. You want to be really good at the stuff that you do. You are ready to work hard and dive deep into whatever you decide to do.
Fun & Play! You’re ready to have some fun and explore what is possible. You want to be outrageous and find others who are ready to play along.
You care. You know there is a lot of fucked up stuff going on in the world and you don’t like it. The suffering, injustice, lack of ethics, and harming people for self-interest really doesn’t work for you. You care about people and want to learn how to be part of the solution.
Cleaning up your messes. You know that you’re going to make some messes and get into some trouble, but don’t want to “Leave a Trace” so that others have to clean up your crap, your mistakes, and your dignity.
The Real You. You know there is something inside you that wants to come out - it’s valuable, beautiful, and unique. It eats at you. It guides you. It wants to play. It wants to yell "here I am and I've got something important to say"! There is a burning desire inside you to find this genius and a big commitment to begin living it.
Connection to people. You’re curious about native people, communities that thrive, heartfelt connections between people, sweat lodges, ancient rituals, how people lived in old times, and where to find that stuff in today’s world. You crave deep meaningful connections to other people.
