The Academy guides athletes through video training, customized support, handouts, worksheets, and tailored one-on-one coaching. One of the key benefits of the Academy is that we match the speaking format with the athletes’ personalities. For example, I am more comfortable speaking to larger audiences than small groups. I prefer a keynote to a slide presentation. So, I gravitate towards larger audiences as they align with my dynamic personality, yet I remain open to engaging with more intimate groups as well.
