Due to COVID-19, IMG Academy adapted to a completely digital platform for academics and athletics following Spring Break 2020. Even when the entire world seemed to pause, IMG knew that it was crucial to capitalize on those moments, even from afar. Teachers and coaches continued to engage student-athletes online and kept them on track towards their college and professional ambitions, no matter where they were in the world.
Even a global pandemic couldn't slow down IMG Academy, and the soccer program was no exception. TopDrawer Soccer noticed how the Ascenders responded with effective distance learning. View the full article here that details the program and includes an in-depth view interview with IMG Academy Soccer General Manager, Alex Chater.
We wanted to provide as much of a similar atmosphere in our Distance Learning Program as when the kids were here on campus, so we worked [...] together to replicate the week they have when they’re here.
- Alex Chater, IMG Academy Soccer General Manager
Daily structure and support were key to maintaining a positive team culture as well as personal growth and development amongst student-athletes. Personalized creatively based on each player’s at-home environment, coaches established individualized training, conditioning, and responsibilities across each respective team to best reflect what they would otherwise have received on campus in Bradenton, Florida.
