You don’t have to wait—you’re a leader right now.
Change Your Game is the high-energy playbook for anyone 12–22 who’s ready to ditch doubt and do something that matters. Coach-author Chad Mitchell has spent three decades on sidelines, in classrooms, and in the mountains showing young people one simple truth: leadership isn’t a title—it’s a choice you make today.
So your words, values, and actions fit—and people follow the real you.
Turn tiny daily habits into compounding strength that puts you in charge of your story.
Spot others’ strengths and build teams where no one sits out.
To influence friends for the better (science says you have more impact than adults).
Practice empathetic listening that moves beyond “hearing” to understanding—building powerful connections.
Trade shade for service: lead with optimism, kindness, and hope so your light ignites others to rise and lead too.
