Promoting Scholar-Athletes is in our DNA

Why Academy Athletes?

Academy Athletes was launched based on 8+ years of working with parents, teachers, and students to crack the code on student motivation. Almost by accident, we observed that certain students with long-term struggles in the classroom responded to current/former athletes with whom they shared a passion for sports. Checking the research, it is clear that
the motivation and discipline emphasized by coaches are key factors in student achievement.
 
In response, Academy Learning
  • hires background-checked, graduates of 4-year colleges/universities who played high school or college sports. We strive to match Academic Mentors (Tutors) with middle/high school students according to a shared interest in sports to establish a positive peer relationship.
  • Academy Athletes will send one of our Scholar-Athletes to a team activity to deliver motivational life skills talks connecting success in academics to achievements in sports.
  • Offers Study and Organizational Skills Workshops to teams at no charge.
