TESTIMONIALS

I whole heartedly believe in the mission and impact that Next Level Academy International has had and will continue to have on at risk youth. I myself have benefited from similar programs growing up as a youth. Using sports, in which a lot of at risk youth have a passion for and or are involved in, as a doorway to teach them skills such as financial literacy and providing services for mental health, academic tutoring, and much more is invaluable for all youth whether at risk or not.

NLA International is actively making investments into the lives of so many youth giving future generations a fighting chance to succeed.

I met Brandon through a former friend and teammate Sam Destin in my Junior Year of High School baseball. I trained with Brandon throughout my high school career and beyond. Three things, in particular, stood out to me:

1. During my senior year, we were forced to work out some days at 5 AM and others as late as 11 PM due to all of the obligations (school, practices, games, travel time, meetings with college coaches and meetings with professional organizations) that come with being a potential first-round draft pick. While he told me that he did not like the schedule and the lack of rest, Brandon also said he will never miss and never be late. He never was. We finished near midnight one day and started at 5 AM the next day and he was there with coffee waiting for me.

2. Brandon always cared more about the person than the athlete. While we talked about sports and a lot about sports psychology, our conversations were dominated by my life outside of sports, my family and me making smart decisions.

3. I told teammates about Brandon being my trainer and he invested the same time, effort, and energy into each one of them. That was huge. That showed that he cared about helping all of us reach our dreams regardless of our prospectus.

When I heard of the charity I could not be more proud and supportive of Brandon and Next Level Academy International. This is going to change lives!”
