C.A.T.S. Life Skills Overview
At Arizona, C.A.T.S. is a philosophy as much as it is a comprehensive support services program: Committed to the Athletes' TOTAL Success. As a model program for the past three decades, Arizona has used creative, innovative and effective programming to connect all areas of the student-athlete experience and develop student-athletes in all areas of their lives. Our mission is to implement programs, events, and individualized support that empowers student-athletes to develop as leaders, community members, and future professionals.
The Wildcat Way
Developed to define who we are and what we do as Arizona Wildcats, the Wildcat Way promotes the C.A.T.S. program and puts the words in to actions. Life Skills programing is guided by The Wildcat Way's pillars and creed (click

In addition to participating in specific programs and workshops, student-athletes can work to earn
The Wildcat Way Award of Excellence and/or Award of Distinction.
