(PRWEB) March 31, 2005 -- Super Bowl champion, Leonard Marshall, has a keen eye for wise investments. His latest investment is in the lives of kids from his local community through a new effort called the Leonard Marshall Football Academy.

After retiring from football in 1996, Mr. Marshall planted his roots in Boca Raton, Florida, where he is a successful entrepreneur and CEO of Capital Source Mortgage. It is in his local community of Boca Raton where, on June 6th, 2005, the Leonard Marshall Football Academy will open its doors to welcome the kids of South Florida.
The camp is geared toward football players of beginner, intermediate or advanced skills, ages 8-18, who are driven to learn or advance their game. Current and former NFL players and coaches, respected local high school football coaches and Leonard, himself, will be on hand each day to coach the kids through proven NFL techniques. Im proud to be a part of this camp and to be working with such a dedicated person like Leonard Marshall," said West Boca High School football coach, Willie Dodaro. Also confirmed to participate is former NFL head coach for the Patriots and Giants, Ron Erhardt. Ron is responsible for mentoring several NFL players, including quarter back, Phil Simms, among many others. This is a huge score for us," says Marshall.

It's sure to be a fun three weeks for all of us," says Leonard. Each camp session will culminate with a special awards ceremony to which all camp attendees, along with their parents or guardians, will be invited to lunch with Leonard, camp sponsors, coaches and famous NFL players.
"I came from little, but I had passion and enthusiasm for life and learning. That, combined with strong family values, hard work, determination, and mentoring, helped to make my dreams come true. Now, it's time for me to cultivate the dreams of kids, and I fully intend to do that through the Leonard Marshall Football Academy. I personally promise to help make your child a better athlete and a more grounded person."
After all, it's all about the kids," says Marshall. Why dream the dream...when you can live it?"
