Top Organizational Leadership and Development

Welcome to The Academic, Coaching, Enrichment, & Sports (ACES) Network, home of Dr. Dwayne B. Thomas's revolutionary GamePlan Pro™ (GPP™) ecosystem. We serve as the definitive destination for evidence-based sports-integrated educational transformation through our three trademarked frameworks: the GPP™ Community Scorecard™, Sports Interest Learning Framework™ (SILF™), and Athlete-Centered Learning Framework™ (ACLF™).

What sets ACES Network apart is our development of the first scientifically grounded, Common Core Standards-aligned ecosystem that integrates brain science and sports science research into comprehensive educational methodology. With over 60 years of combined Executive & Strategic Leadership experience, our team has been pioneering sports-education integration since 2001, transforming from traditional consulting to developing proprietary, trademarked methodologies that create measurable educational outcomes.

As the creator of the only comprehensive sports-education integration ecosystem, Dr. Thomas brings unparalleled expertise as a former organizational leadership developer for multinational sports organizations, State Curriculum Specialist, Professor of Education, and consultant for educational program evaluation. Our team's evolution from general consulting to developing evidence-based, trademarked frameworks demonstrates our commitment to advancing the field through innovation rather than replicating existing approaches.

Our success in securing multimillion-dollar grants now supports the development and validation of GPP™ ecosystem implementation, moving beyond traditional funding to invest in research-proven methodologies that deliver sustainable transformation. 

The ACES Network represents the intersection of rigorous academic research, practical sports industry experience, and systematic educational improvement.

At ACES Network, we believe in harnessing brain science and sports science research to create lasting educational change through the GPP™ ecosystem's strategic targeting and evidence-based implementation. Our Community Scorecard™ identifies communities with highest transformation potential, while SILF™ and ACLF™ deliver integrated sports-academic programming that maintains Common Core Standards alignment.

Rather than offering generic consulting, we partner with districts and communities ready to implement comprehensive, research-based transformation through our trademarked methodologies. Join us in pioneering the future of sports-integrated education where scientific rigor meets athletic excellence to create measurable academic outcomes.
