The Champion's Edge with Bonnie Bernstein: Inspiring the Next Generation Through the Power of Sport

The Rose Bowl Institute proudly partnered with Hearst Media Production Group and Walk Swiftly Productions to launch The Champion's Edge with Bonnie Bernstein, an original educational television series that explores the life lessons, leadership principles, and personal values developed through sport.

Now airing nationally on ABC stations as part of the Weekend Adventure educational programming block, The Champion's Edge represents the Rose Bowl Institute's first venture into national television and an exciting extension of our mission to educate, inspire, and empower future generations through the enduring values of sportsmanship, leadership, and citizenship.

Through powerful conversations and personal storytelling, viewers gain insight into how the lessons learned through competition—resilience, perseverance, teamwork, accountability, integrity, and purpose—continue to guide success far beyond the field of play.
