Dear Parents:
Philadelphia Sports Training Center is the first and only training center to
combine Athletics and Academics. I am the director and co-founder of the SACT
(Student-Athlete Counseling and Tutoring) Program. As a former All-American
soccer player, as well as, an Academic All-American soccer player, I not only
know what it takes to be successful both athletically and academically but I
have the experience to back up the knowledge. I attended Moravian College in
Bethlehem, PA where I graduated with honors and earned two Bachelors of Arts
Degrees, one in Psychology and the other in Sociology. As the director of the
SACT Program, I am dedicated to serving all children so that they to may
experience success not only in athletics but also in academics.
As
times change and the world we live in is becoming more complicated and hectic,
the world that our children live in is also becoming increasingly more
challenging and demanding. Guidance Counselors in schools around the country are
seeing more students with a multitude of different problems and issues. The
recommended counselor-to-student ratio, according to American School Counselor
Association (ASCA), is 1:250. In other words, 1 counselor is responsible for the
over-all well-being of 250 students. Most people feel that having one counselor
for 250 students is not sufficient. Be this as it may, the ration of 1:250 is
ideal and in most schools, the number of students a counselor is responsible for
exceeds 250. Let our program assist in the academic development of your most
precious assets….your children. We have a 1:30 ratio for counseling & tutoring
to better monitor and attend to each athletes needs.
At
Philadelphia Sports Training Center, we not only make student-athletes better
athletes and students, but we also look out for there emotional and personal
well-being. The SACT Program consists of academic tutors as well as guidance
counselors to ensure that every child who passes through these doors leaves in
better shape physically, emotionally, and academically. Counselors wear many
different hats and can be used to assist in many different situations. In
addition to dealing with emotional, social, personal, and academic issues,
counselors will also assist helping junior and senior high school students apply
and gain exposure to colleges. Counselors will help with the recruiting process
to insure that each student-athlete has the best opportunity to attend the
school of his or her choice and receive a scholarship, either academic or
athletic, to that college or university. Our promise is that 100% of our
student-athletes will be given the opportunity to be recruited by many of the
over 800 universities that offer athletic scholarships. Academic scholarships
will be applied for on a monthly basis pending each student-athletes
grade-point-average.
All
Student-Athletes, regardless of age, level, or ability, are welcome to join the
SACT Program. Student-Athletes, along with there parents, are encourage to
schedule a time to take a tour of the training facility. At this time, students
and parents will not only tour and receive information about our athletic
programs, but they will also have a chance to tour our academic classrooms,
resource room and computer lab. For every hour of athletic training,
student-athletes also receive an hour of counseling and tutoring.
Student-athletes and counselors will work together to get the results that the
students want and need.
You are encouraged to contact our office
to discuss your referrals into our program or to open the lines of
communication. We would hope that constant communication is the key to ensure
current updated information regarding current student-athletes or prospects. We
look forward to working with you to be able to better service your
student-athletes.
Yours in Training,
