Creating an Academic Athletic Coach Position

On this High School Football America podcast, Jeff McCann, Executive Director of The AthLife Foundation, walks through how our national platform provides grant funding, training and industry leading resources to help schools create the critical professional mentoring position in secondary education, called the Academic Athletic Coach.

The Academic Athletic Coach works year-round with student athletes from both male and female athletic teams, to create high impact programming that taps into a student’s passion for their sport and athletics, driving academic achievement and preparing them for post high school success.
