Quote as to why the staff member got involved with Pro Prep:
“I have been working with young athletes from the early years of an athlete all the way up to the high end athletes for a very long time. I want to be able to teach and show young athletes what I did not know, and the mistakes I made. I want them to be better than me, and be as successful as possible by following the right path and making the right choices to be successful. Pro Prep Academy is what we need! Reaching out and working within the community is amazing and we are just getting started.“
