My name is Quinn McDowell, welcome to The Movement. I started Areté Hoops with the belief that I could change the world through building transformational leaders. That MISSION still continues today.

I exist to build purpose-driven leaders to live transformational lives of toughness, humility and purpose to the glory of God.
Regardless of whether you are religious or not, we all are searching for answers to life’s toughest questions.
How do I live a good life?
Where can I find purpose?
Can I do work that really matters?
Why was I put here on earth?
How can I make a difference?
Is it all worth it?
What matters most?
As we strive to live, learn, and grow with excellence, the answers to these questions can reveal themselves with purposeful effort and reflection. Life has a way of revealing itself as we seek wisdom with understanding and humility. The process of transformation, growth, and learning are what I have dedicated my life to as a father, coach, and leader.
In my time as a Division 1 athlete, pro player, and current coach I’ve been a part on a lot of teams and around a lot of leaders. I’ve worked to understand (through study and observation) the principles of high performance, strong cultures, and effective leadership.
This site and the resources here are the ongoing efforts of my understanding of how to live well with clarity and conviction. If you’re on a similar journey, I’m so glad you’re here!
There are a couple of great places for you to start.
