A Word from

Marcus Colby, former AA mentee

​

As the 13-year-old star quarterback of my team, the last thing on my mind was schoolwork. I struggled in class and often got other students to do my work for me. Come test time, my teacher would scratch his head comparing my A’s on homework and in-class quizzes to the D+ on my exam. I knew I needed the grades in get into a big school to play football, so I decided to take a look at AA and their mentoring/tutoring programs. How did it turn out? Let’s just say that I am now at a top 10 university with a GPA I’d never dream of getting before being introduced to Aspiring Athletes.

            I would not hesitate to recommend this program to any student athlete, even if they are not having a hard time in class. The community is nothing less than supportive and make you want to hop up from the bed and make a difference. They are always responsive to any concern or issue amongst those in the community. AA also provides a great life-coaching staff that work with students to develop healthy study habits and create a vision for your near future.

            Pave your way with AA!
