Why Should I Study


59% of all high school varsity football and basketball players have the belief that they will receive a college scholarship upon graduation.

In actuality, 98 out of 100 varsity high school athletes involved in all sports will never play in the college ranks.

Also, only 1 out of 12,000 college student athletes will ever have the opportunity to become a professional athlete in any sport.

For the sport of football only 1 in every 5,200 college players will have the opportunity to become a professional in their sport.

Quote of the Day

Oscar Hammerstein told a story of seeing the top of the head of the Statue of Liberty up close from a helicopter. What impressed him was the incredible detail the artist had sculpted on an area of the statue that the artist never expected anyone to see. The artist had no idea man would someday fly above his statue! When you are tempted to cut corners and you think, "No one will ever know."
