4Q | 1 Life

Four Quarters. One Life. One Legacy.

4Q | 1 Life is the life framework that ties our programs together — from Locker Room to Legacy™ to Classroom to Championship™. It gives student-athletes, families, and mentors a simple way to talk about seasons of life: Foundation, Development, Prime, and Legacy.

Instead of treating sports as the finish line, 4Q invites athletes to see every quarter as preparation for the next — building faith, discipline, leadership, and purpose that lasts long after the game clock hits zero.

The Four Quarters

A Simple Way to Talk About Seasons of Life

Each quarter represents a season that shows up in sports and life — from early foundations and growth, to prime years of influence, to the legacy you leave for those coming behind you.

Q1 • Foundation

Faith & Identity

Who you belong to. Who you are becoming.

Know who you are in Christ, not just as an athlete.
Core values, non-negotiables, and habits.
Healthy routines in school, sport, and at home.

Q2 • Development

Discipline & Growth

Strengthening what God has placed in you.

Mindset, study blocks, and time stewardship.
Coachability, communication, and listening.
NIL literacy and social media awareness.

Q3 • Prime

Leadership & Influence

Competing, serving, and leading at a higher level.

Practice and game leadership, on and off the field.
Using your platform to serve, not just be seen.
Making decisions that honor your faith and family.

Q4 • Legacy

Finish & Impact

How you run your race and who you bring with you.

How you leave a program matters more than how you enter.
Investing in younger teammates and siblings.
Carrying lessons into marriage, work, and calling.

From Teen Years to Lifetime

How 4Q Shows Up in Real Life

4Q gives a shared language for conversations between athletes, parents, coaches, and mentors. It works in a team talk, a small group, or a one-on-one car ride after a tough game.

For Families

From Living Room to Locker Room

Parents and guardians can use the 4Q language to talk honestly about expectations, pressure, social media, and future decisions — without every conversation turning into a lecture.

“This feels like a Q1 conversation — what foundation are we laying?”
“You’re in a Q2 season — what’s God growing in you right now?”
“You’re stepping into Q3 — who are you leading?”

For Teams & Ministries

From Practice Plans to Discipleship

Coaches, chaplains, and ministry leaders can drop 4Q phrases into warmups, film sessions, and chapels to connect faith, character, and competition.

Theme nights built around each quarter.
Captains and leaders mapping where their team is this season.
Chapels and devotionals that connect Scripture to real decisions.

Locker Room to Legacy • Classroom to Championship

How 4Q Powers Our Programs

Locker Room to Legacy (LTL) focuses on helping student-athletes and families walk through the high school and college years with clarity — identity, discipline, NIL readiness, and purpose.

Classroom to Championship (CTC) focuses on students, teachers, and families who want to build habits that transfer from the classroom to competition, and from the school year to the rest of life.

Together, 4Q gives direction for every season of life — from foundation to legacy.
