The Playbook, A Student-Athlete's Guide to Success Canadian Edition Robert Grilli

A playbook prepares you to succeed on the field. This playbook attempts to serve a similar function both on and off the field, offering tips, and tools that draw on the experiences of a former student-athlete's personal growth over two decades. I trust my journey and the tools that I have utilized to succeed academically, athletically, and socially will empower current and prospective student-athletes alike. It will also empower family, friends, coaches, and faculty to connect and help their student-athletes thrive. I wish you the best as you embark on this exciting chapter of your life.
