Today we are proud to be launching Sports Life Coaching University, at http://www.sportslifecoachu.com. Please take a look.

The purpose of this site is to provide the high school student athlete with the resources he or she needs to succeed on and off the court, and get into the college of his or her choice (with maximum scholarship money).

We recognize the mistakes that many high school athletes make -- and the pressures that they face. We hope that this new site will make a difference for athletes and their parents.
