 Concept by - Dr. George Selleck

Dr. George Selleck is an equity participant in SportzVillage and is on our advisory board as well.

Dr. George A. Selleck has over 40 years of diverse experience as a psychologist, management and organizational consultant, educator, motivational speaker, author, coach, referee and athlete. He is the recipient of the prestigious 1997 Distinguished Service Award from the California State Athletic Directors Association (CSADA) in recognition of his service to interscholastic athletics, a lifelong dedication he brings to his current role as Founder and President of Sports for Life, Inc.

Founded by Selleck in 1997, Sports for Life is a 501(c)(3) California nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the value of sports education -- the concept that every skill necessary to prepare young adults to become successful adults and community leaders can be learned through involvement in the sports experience. Through specialized leadership training, innovative middle school and high school curricula and targeted programming, Sports for Life works to create locally driven programs to enrich sports in communities nationwide.

Named the "California High School Basketball Player of the Year" while at Compton High School, Selleck went on to distinguish himself as a premier guard at Stanford University. He was elected to the 1956 All-American Team and was later inducted into Stanford University's Basketball Hall of Fame. Following graduation, Selleck applied his playing experience to coaching positions at Stanford University and Brentwood High School in Los Angeles, where he was twice named the High School Coach of the Year by the Los Angeles Times. He went on to serve as an NCAA basketball referee for 13 years.

A psychologist by training, Selleck has advanced degrees from Stanford University, Princeton University, and the University of Southern California, and spent 15 years in private practice as a counseling psychologist. Integrating his knowledge of human behavior and his experience as an accomplished athlete and coach, Selleck has become a national seminar and workshop specialist. His specially designed programs have impacted more than 10,000 students, athletes, parents, coaches and administrators involved in youth sports, as well as many prominent national corporate executives.

Selleck has served as a key consultant and featured speaker to hundreds of organizations, including the NBA Rookie Transition Program, The American Basketball Coaches Association, the National Association of Athletic Directors, San Diego Hall of Champions "Say Yes to Sports" program, U.S. Tennis Association, American Youth Soccer Organization, and the annual Volleyball Festival for Women. He has conducted workshops for the coaching staffs of over 90 NCAA member institutions. His roster of corporate and public sector clients includes ITT, Prudential Preferred Financial, Hewlett Packard, Dow Chemical, Control Data, Southern California Edison, Oklahoma Gas and Electric, Igloo Products Company, ClearFreight, Acapulco Restaurants, Inc., the City of Santa Monica and the City of Manhattan Beach.

Selleck is the author of several books, including How to Play the Game of Your Life: A Guide to Success in Sports and in Life (Diamond Communications, 1995), The Student-Athlete's Recruiting Handbook (Leisure Press, 1984), Court Sense: The Invisible Edge in Basketball and in Life (Diamond Communications, 1998), and co-author of From the Bleachers with Love: Advice to Parents with Kids in Sports, and its companion book, Beyond the Bleachers: The Art of Parenting Today's Athletes.
