Shining Athletes Purpose
Enhance high school athletes’ experience by providing executive functioning skills, academic tutoring, and college recruiting assistance.
Our Services to Help Our Student Athletes
To help serve student athletes to gain a competitive edge.
Tutoring
Class Work
We want your student athlete to have the best academic support so that they will receive the highest grade in all subjects. We will pair tutors in all subjects to the student athlete needing ongoing support. We want your student athlete to get recruited by their dream school by working hard in the classroom.
Counseling
Schedule Work
We want your students to strive inside and outside of the classroom. We care about your student's time and want your students to be able to have fun, work hard, and get good grades. Counseling will help your students plan their schedules once a week so that the student athletes can plan for all they have to do to make time for school, sports, friends, and family.
Community Service
Fundraising Work
We will give student athletes the chance to participate in community service by providing an opportunity to create their own fundraisers. They can work individually, or with a group of other students to plan fundraisers or community awareness campaigns. Funds raised will be used to pay for the facilities, the equipment, the tutors, and marketing with college coaches and for scholarships to pay for college visit trips to enhance all of our student athletes' experiences.
Athletic Training
Athletic Work
Most of the teamwork and athletic training will occur on the field, court or sports venue. However, we will work with the high school coach to really understand the student athlete's strengths and weaknesses to design a well-rounded program to support the high school coach market the athletes that want to continue on to play at the collegiate level.
