Our purpose at
Abundant Life Academy is to restore the child to his destiny
(academically, athletically, and spiritually). Our mission
is to grow the student athlete into a man of valor and honor.
Furthermore, our job is to restore the student athlete’s
vision and understanding of his future, compelling him to
take full advantage of his God-given talent. More importantly,
our greatest pleasure is to lead the student athlete to use
his talents to glorify God, and to be a living testimony to
all the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ.
 The purpose of focusing on the restoration of a child’s
athletic potential is an easy one. God has gifted this young
man with athletic prowess. This gifting can be used to God’s
glory, and the success of the student. Athletics offers so
many intangibles for a successful life they all can’t
be listed here. The more obvious benefits of athletics is
the emotional and spiritual development of the student athlete.
Athletes who invest themselves into their sport; working hard,
setting and accomplishing goals, learning to work well with
others (teammates and coaches), can use all their athletic
investment to be successful in the real world.
Student athletes can also transition their success on the
playing field to the classroom. Good High School coaches care
more about training up strong Godly young men who can then
apply their athletic experience in the classroom and beyond
(real world). For example, people with good work ethic, who
live by honor and character, will be successful in the job
market later in life. Moreover, many great athletes can take
their athletic gifting’s and earn college scholarships.
There is no downside to this formula. Work hard, invest into
your talents, and leverage your growth and talents into all
areas of your life.
