The 5 Keys to Success, developed by Al Foderaro, provides a framework for young people to work to be the best version of themselves as they navigate junior high and high school." </p><p>College coaches and their players join with middle school and high school teachers and administrators to motivate and encourage students, particularly those at risk of dropping out, to stay in school until graduation. By delivering the message that success in education is fundamental to success in life, students are enlightened about the impact of their school decisions. </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The <a href="https://twitter.com/RedFlashMBB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RedFlashMBB</a> team and <a href="https://twitter.com/TreyWeiand14?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TreyWeiand14</a> had a great message at Altoona Junior High School yesterday as part of the <a href="https://twitter.com/NABC1927?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NABC1927</a> Stay In To Win Program.<br><br><br><br> 🔴⚡️🏀 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FlashProud?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FlashProud</a><a href="https://t.co/yrx84svAO9">pic.twitter.com/yrx84svAO9</a></p> — Saint Francis Red Flash (@SFUathletics) <a href="https://twitter.com/SFUathletics/status/1838995106264645841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 25, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote><p>Coaches and their players play pivotal roles in reaching out to students, communicating the value of effective decision-making skills.
