College Bound Athletes

While working last week, I received a text from an athlete that has trained with us in the past, Jerry Mitchell. He informed me that he has been offered a full scholarship to The University of Arkansas. He still has his senior year to play for Mandeville High School, which I told him, should be the most important thing in his life right now. I am so excited for him and love what I do so much! These are the times and experiences that make all of my 15-18 hour days worth it, helping these young men and women achieve their goals of earning a scholarship to college, or even getting drafted into pro athletics. Another one of our athletes, Beau Dickenson, received a call on Thursday of last week and was invited as one of the 105 select athletes that can attend 2 a days with the University of Southern Mississippi. He worked his butt off all summer to get ready to play college football, and he deserves every opportunity that he gets. He only played one year of High School Football at Holy Cross, and 4 years of soccer.
To name a few others, Maddie Commander, Theo Hooker, Christine Walters, Eric Hymel, and Morgan Springer have all received college scholarships. I couldn't be prouder!
