The Solution: Crossroads Decision® Critical Thinking Program

Crossroads Decision® evaluates, trains and improves the critical thinking skills which student athletes use both on and off the field. Through this program, these young adults will learn to recognize and look at important decisions from a number of perspectives. We initially assess each student’s personality and the maturity of their decision making process, to understand the most effective way to communicate with the student. This data is invaluable to the coaches, the students, their role on the team, and ultimately to your school. The training will teach each student to move outside their own habitual ways of making choices, and to understand the outcomes prior to their decisions, instead of simply dealing with the consequences. Your Student Athletes will excel in making good decisions. They gain skills enabling them to:
  • Be a strong and confident decision-maker
  • Thoroughly judge a situation
  • Quickly and accurately weigh risks against rewards
  • Be a visionary
  • Remove obstacles with simple solutions
  • Uncover hidden opportunities in "problems"
  • Use "what-if" thinking to avoid costly mistakes
  • Assess all angles of the big picture before making a decision
  • Reach optimal solutions more quickly than ever before
  • Consistently "make the right call"
Our program works because the training is chalked full of experiential exercises that are effective and above all, fun. Not only are the exercises effective in teaching new critical thinking skills, we also sustain desired behaviors long after we are gone through our Crossroads Decision® Accountability Process (CDAP). Through this process we assess capabilities, set expectations, invite commitment, measure results, provide feedback, and link actions to consequences.

Our Behavior-Based Analysis (BBA) is an integral part of the Crossroads Decision® Accountability Process (CDAP) that effectively helps to build a proactive critical thinking culture where problem solving and decision-making are core values. It’s based on solid principles of engaging, motivating, assisting, reinforcing, and sustaining critical thinking behaviors. It is a systematic approach designed to build in a cadence of behavior and accountability by using the Six Thinking Hats® concepts. Behavior-Based Analysis Form

Crossroads Decision® Testimonials

“The Leeward Team led ASU freshman football players through a powerful decision-making
training. The day far exceeded my expectations. Powerful work men!”
– Jean Boyd, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Student Development, Arizona State University.

“I feel the Crossroads Decision workshop has given our young ladies a process for which they can quickly disseminate information and make solid good decisions based on facts, consequences and feelings. I watched them transform right before my eyes. They learned and were able to apply this process on the spot. I will challenge each one of these young ladies to become Crossroads Decision Ambassadors and to openly share what they experienced today with their Peak sisters.”

– Bruce Price, Founder/President Peak Performance Basketball, Atlanta, GA

“The Crossroads Decision workshop has opened my eyes to different ways of thinking. If I am ever confronted with peer pressure, I will just pull out my Six Thinking Hats card to help me make the right decision.”

– Crossroads Decision Workshop Participant, Atlanta, GA

“This workshop helped me recognize the “Hats” I use on a daily basis but more importantly the ones I don’t use enough in my decision-making.”

– Crossroads Decision Workshop Participant, Atlanta, GA

“Prior to my daughter’s participation in the Crossroads Decision workshop, her critical thinking capabilities were nonexistent. So much so that my wife and I were contemplating not allowing her to go to college after she graduated. We felt that she was ill prepared to handle the many challenges and tough decisions most college freshmen are surely to face. Now that she has experienced Crossroads Decision, we feel she has a solid foundation and a framework to be better prepared for college life. She has internalized this process and demonstrates on a regular basis the ability to analyze, evaluate, problem solve, and make sound decisions. This workshop transformed our daughter!”

– Kurt Patterson, Parent of Crossroads Decision Workshop Participant, Atlanta, GA
