So how did this 7 year old dreamer become now the #2 ranked Wide Receiver in New England, get invited to the Under Armour Camp, and start turning heads, from a once unknown kid from a tiny town in Connecticut?

The right mindset. The right training. Focus. Work. Sacrifice. Grit. Going against the grain. And more work.

We locked in his Speed Training. Strength Training. Mindset. Friend Groups. And kept him focused on his goals all while having fun, enjoying the process, and being a kid too.

Sprint Drills. Footwork Drills. Hill Sprints in 90 degree weather at 8 years old.

I would always ask him, “Do you still want to do this?” “You don’t have to play football if you don’t really want to, its ok”

Every time he would respond, I do. Lets go.

This kid is one of the most humble, kind, positive, friendly people you will ever meet, but when it comes to his goals and dreams, he is relentless.

It has not always been easy. There have been multiple detours, a couple injuries, the lockdown. But he hasn’t wavered once.

So, what does it take to achieve your fullest potential?

It takes everything.

AND luckily for kids and parents who have those goals, we are coaches and we have training programs with that same energy, desire, and focus.

It takes everything from us, to help give kids the opportunity, resources, and guidance to help them achieve their wildest dreams.

To be an Upward Athlete, means you need to commit, work hard, focus, trust the process, and show up. If you do those things, you too, will achieve your biggest dreams.

Our coaches are the hardest working. Most passionate. Walk the walk. Coaches you will find.

Why? Because we know you only have one chance to go through high school and college, and we can’t afford to screw that up. We need to be the biggest assets in you and your kids lives! And we have a guaranteed promise and process that we back up to live by this fact!
