MissionThe mission of Apex Elite Academy (“The Academy”) is to build true student-athletes who embrace and develop their gifts in scholarship and athletics. We seek to eliminate the negative effects of ruthless opportunism impacting young athletes in urban areas, and to build citizenship, camaraderie, and common purpose between young student-athletes from different socioeconomic backgrounds. We foresee this will lead to shared goals, stronger local communities, and our societies greater good.

IntroductionThe Academy will support Chicago area student-athletes to excel in the areas of academics and basketball. We have 3 goals for The Academy: 1) We will develop the basketball skills and athletic prowess of all student athletes. 2) We will teach students critical academic and executive functioning skills that will improve school performance. 3) We will help to foster bonds between young people from varied socioeconomic backgrounds in the city of Chicago.

The ProgramThe primary goal of the program is to equip student-athletes with needed skills to compete academically and athletically at the highest level. Additionally, the program will provide mentoring and support that will empower young athletes to rise above pressures and promises of quick “fame and fortune.” The program will allow young people to see the value of academics as well as benefits of striving for success in the classroom and on the court, modeling how strength in both areas work together to enhance their skills and goals in life. We seek to build community and understanding with young people who come from different walks of life, but who clearly share athletic and academic goals.

We will train at Kovler Gym located at5823 S. Kenwood Avenue on the

University of Chicago Lab Schools’ Campus

This training camp will be offered to the following student-athlete age groups:

Ages 6-10 (9:00 am - 10:00 am)Ages 11-17 (10:10 am - 11:30 am)

TestimonialsHaving Chris as my track coach has truly been a life changing experience. Throughout school I was fast but I didn’t understand the potential I had. Train-ing with Chris helped show me this potential and he helped me achieve it. Not only does he have the

most extensive knowledge (that I know of) in muscle strengthening techniques (i.e. how to gain speed, how to

get strong but not bulky etc), but he is also the best mo-tivator out there. Training with Chris has made me more conscious of the exercises I do, and has taught me which exercises are the most effective for achieving my goals. If you have the opportunity to train with Chris, he will help you achieve your goals and teach you the neces-

sary skills to do it on your own. — — Leah Sibener, Varsity Track and Field, Johns Hopkins University

Before I began working with Chris Harper I was a decent athlete, but nothing spectacular. When I began training

with Chris my physical abilities began to improve dramati-cally, and as I continued to work with Chris I turned into an exceptional athlete and eventually made my high school’s varsity soccer team during my freshman season. The lessons I learned while training with Chris contributed to my success in soccer. Looking back on the process, I can see that working with Chris helped me develop a competitive drive which has proven to be invaluable in many aspects of my life.
