PROGRAMS
Control the NarrativeA values-based leadership and communication program that equips students, scholar-athletes, and school leaders to define their stories, navigate visibility, and lead with purpose.
About CTN
Too often, narratives about young people and their schools are shaped by social media, public opinion, or moments of pressure. Control the Narrative (CTN) gives participants the confidence, preparation, and practical tools to communicate clearly, make responsible decisions, and represent themselves and their communities with integrity.
Through leadership training, student workshops, and scholar-athlete development, the program strengthens identity, communication, and personal responsibility. By aligning students and staff around shared values, Control the Narrative helps schools build a more positive culture and empowers young people to shape a lasting legacy—both in school and beyond.

Why Our Programs Work
We Lead With Values, Not Trends
Every AHLF program is grounded in the FISLL Fundamentals—Faith, Integrity, Sacrifice, Leadership, and Legacy. These principles guide how we design experiences, mentor youth, and measure success. We’re not chasing short-term outcomes—we’re shaping character for a lifetime.
We Develop the Whole Person
Our programs intentionally combine skill-building, leadership development, and personal growth. Whether on the court or in conversation, participants are challenged to grow as athletes, leaders, and individuals—learning how to think critically, lead with confidence, and act with purpose.
We Build Real Relationships That Last
AHLF programs are designed to strengthen meaningful relationships between youth and adults, mentors, and communities. Shared experiences, guided dialogue, and intentional mentorship create trust and connection that extend far beyond a single event.
We Create Experiences With Lasting Impact
Powered by Allan Houston’s legacy and vision, our programs are immersive, memorable, and deeply intentional. Participants leave with more than inspiration—they leave with tools, perspective, and a support system that continues to shape their future.
