SAN DIEGO, Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ALBION SC, a national leader in the development, advancement and placement of elite competitive soccer players, and Winward Academy, a national leader in learning programs for high school students to prepare for math class, ACT/SAT college entrance exams and college applications, have announced a partnership to support ALBION SC students achieve their potential as athletes and as students.
"For ALBION SC to remain the top soccer club in America, we need to ensure that we are innovating and exposing our players and families to resources and tools for academic growth and success," shared ALBION SC CEO Noah Gins. "We're thrilled that Winward Academy can provide that academic support."
The reality is that student athletes, especially those at a highly competitive level, face additional challenges with balancing their academics with practice, travel and tournaments. They need to be well-informed and supported throughout all aspects of the process - both inside the classroom and outside the classroom.
"Winward Academy is thrilled to support ALBION SC families," shared Winward Academy founder and CEO Dr. Jennifer Winward. "It's an honor to present to the players and their parents and to answer their questions about the academic side of being a student-athlete."
ALBION SC and Winward Academy are dedicated to reaching students and getting them the support and information they need for a successful path to college. "We host formal events with professional panels and even sit on the field to do Q&A after practice," said Michal-Lynn O'Kelley, Placement Director for Albion SC. "We need to reach the players wherever and whenever we can. It's the best way to ensure they have the tools and information to maximize their success. And Winward Academy is an excellent resource for families to learn more about the importance of academics not only for college recruiting but also for life."
