The philosophy of T1 Sports Academy was developed by the founder himself, Travon Jones, who had a stellar high school and college football career despite being the “smallest” player on the field. After finishing his playing career Travon has made it a mission to create something special for student athletes right here in his home city.
"I worked hard and used sports as a platform to further my education. I see so many kids who have the potential to do the same but fail because they lack the discipline and supports system when they reach the college level. I believe T1 Sports Academy can change this pattern and help countless Student Athletes reach their full potential both on and off the field."
