BigTime Athletics Foundation
Developing as an athlete is a different ball game today than it was even 10 years ago. Every athlete that has had ambitions to go to the next level has to decide how good do they want to be and how hard are they willing to work to get what they want. BigTime Athletic Development has been at the fore front for athletic development in the state of Colorado for over 10 years. Through a coordination of club teams their high schools and their coaches and obviously the parents, BigTime Athletic Development has had unparalleled success!
But, how many kids stop before they get started? How many dreams are extinguished before they are dreamed? If a kid can’t dream then what fuels his or her fire? This Foundation wants to fund kids that have a vision, want to learn how to become their best; they have to do the work -we just provide the means to do it.
BigTime Athletic Development has been a pioneer in developing athletes, providing programs that are sport specific, creating an atmosphere that dedicated athletes want to come in and train to be their best. Like any other business once something is created and is successful then there are others that follow that want to get into the game and make as much money as possible, unfortunately this is where the profession is heading.
What about the kids that don’t have the means? BigTime Athletic Development will be a forerunner again-creating a foundation for providing a service to kids that are hungry to be great but can’t compete financially with most of the kids that are involved in athletics as it is today. Today’s young athlete not only has to deal with competition on the field /court but with the finances of everyone out there. Club teams, personal coaches, strength and conditioning programs over and above the high school level, nutritionists, psychologists, are how today’s athletes (yes in high school) are getting their edge.
In today’s athletics high schools have been loosing their strong hold on creating and developing the young athlete and getting them to the college level. Today in volleyball, basketball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse and many others the high school is almost secondary in developing, preparing and getting an athlete to the next level. This organization will provide a charitable means for amateur athletes to prepare themselves for what is beyond the high school level. This organization will give an opportunity to young athletes to realize their potential and become the best student athlete and citizen possible.
To become the best athlete that an individual can be in today’s society requires more than it did in the past. Going beyond what everyone else is doing is how success is achieved. Teaching kids how to do this and providing a means by which individuals that can’t afford this is what the Bigtime Athletics Foundation is about!. Everyone is looking for that extra edge in sports and or life- in everything.
This edge is what BigTime Athletics Foundation can provide for each and every athlete that participates in our program -the chance to be their best. BigTime Athletic Development has been providing the kind of training that is afforded to college and pro level athletes. Unfortunately not everyone has the means to participate in such a program. Speed and strength training are not the only areas that athletes need an extra edge in. Skills training from former athletes, coaches etc outside of the high school. a AAU and club teams are not only how athletes hone their skills but also get recognized by college recruiters.
Just being involved in your high school program is probably not enough for most of the athletes that are trying get to that next level. There are ways of helping athletes get to the next level but again which athletes are able to seek this out financially, and how many kids slip through the cracks because they can’t afford the support that other kids can. How many good athletes give up before they get started because they feel the financial burden is just too much to overcome. This foundation will help level the playing field for those that need it leveled. Sometimes kids, parents and even coaches need help in getting young athletes where they want to go and this foundation can do that. The following are the areas that the foundation will address but not be limited to.
- Speed and strength training
- Individual and small group coaching
- Fundamental and skills development
- Team development ( AAU and Club )
- Academic Support
- College placement and recruiting
BigTime Athletic Development and BigTime Athletics Foundation want to work together to level the playing field for those athletes that can compete athletically but not financially.
"The task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you"
