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.
