👋 From the SETS Desk
Your monthly strategy session from the desk of Kyle LaCroix
Friends in the racquet sports community,
December is a unique month in our industry. It’s not just the end of a calendar cycle — it’s the audit, the reset button, the quiet mirror that reveals what worked, what didn’t, and what needs to evolve.
At SETS, December is about alignment and acceleration:
Aligning your team, your programming, your revenue drivers, and your professional identity…
so you can accelerate into January with momentum rather than overwhelm.
This month, I’m challenging every director, coach, and aspiring leader to do three things:
1️⃣ Review your year honestly — numbers, culture, programming, connection.
2️⃣ Refine your standards — what will be NON-negotiable in 2026?
3️⃣ Recommit to your craft — the best leaders are students first.
SETS exists to support you through that reflection and renewal. December isn’t the finish line — it’s the launch pad. Sign up for our final Masterclass of 2025: “The 2026 Reset!” Reset your career, mindset, and trajectory for the new year, with the exact blueprint top performers use. As always, this Masterclass is complimentary for all SETS Clients. Details Below!
Wishing you clarity, courage, and composure as you close out the year.

🗣️ SETS Tip of the Month
“Clarity reduces anxiety. Standards eliminate confusion. Systems create freedom.”
The most successful leaders don’t rely on effort — they rely on identity, intention, and infrastructure.
As you plan for 2026, ask yourself:
What achievements will define my work next year? Where do I need a better system, not more stress? What would my club/business look like if excellence was my default? Craft the environment you want, or the environment will craft you.
