Our Focus
Programs Focus On Three Core Areas
We challenge all students to have academic success: BE EDUCATED, the ability to acquire knowledge is a fundamental life skill of any professional on and off the field. Professionalism is a character trait and is reflected by who you are as a person. The ability to study is a type of exercise that expands the mind and changes behavior patterns. To be successful in soccer/football, you have to spend a lot of hours studying the game from film, tactics, and repetition.
We encourage our athletes to live healthy lifestyles: BE HEALTHY, nothing is more important than health. We are taking on childhood obesity. Exercise is a something that has been taken away and from a lot of kids and replaced with video games, mobile devices, and television that keeps a lot of kids indoors. Team sports are the best way to get kids outside and active. We need to eat quality foods. As an athlete you are constantly pushing your body like a race car and the foods you eat are your fuel. Our students that are not eating quality foods like vegetables, fruits, healthy carbs and lean meats, lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, digestive problems, diabetes, and cancer later in life.
Character & Leadership Development: BE LEADERS, as a Young Professional your name and abilities are all you have. It’s very important that all our students have certain genetic qualities like game time composure and being versatile which are the skills needed to attract and entertain fans. However, most importantly we must support the community that supports us. We are a professional organizations and our behavior must reflect as so.
