Today we’re going to let you in on a little secret. The type of secret that you wish wasn’t true, but you’re glad you found out. We’re not interested in wasting your time so we’ll get straight to it:
Most college athletes aren’t prepared for their student-athlete experience.
How do we know this? We simply have to look at the NCAA Goals Study. If you’re not familiar with the NCAA Goals Study, it’s an annual survey sent out to current NCAA student-athletes. The data shows some concerning results.
Nearly 1 in 3 student athletes have felt their personal struggles piling up so much that they “could not overcome them” in college.
Not a single group of athletes in any division or sport averages even 7 hours of sleep.
Nearly 40% of student athletes aren’t completing internships while they’re in school.
One in five NCAA student athletes will graduate with over $40,000 in student loans.
Half of NCAA student athletes wish they had more education around nutrition and preparing for a career after college.
Enough statistics. You’re probably wondering why we’re telling you this. After facing many of these struggles ourselves and watching our teammates “make it through” college, we decided it was time to invest in more resources to help student athletes thrive during college.
The truth is, the majority of high school student athletes focus their attention towards recruitment and training. While those are an important part of making it to the next level, they’re only the tip of the iceberg.
Freshman arrive on campus with a new class schedule, in a new environment, with increased expectations and responsibilities not only in their sport, but also in their academic and personal lives.
All of the information and experiences above have led to the creation of the first of its-kind student athlete development program. Signing Day Academy is the first comprehensive online course that will prepare a high school student-athlete for college before they even graduate high school.
Imagine if you or your child was able to arrive on campus during their freshman season with the same experience, skills, and education as their upperclassmen teammates.
